Subject: Check of Incoming Message Folders

After a have executed the following steps in Pine 3.92:

  - open an Incoming Message Folder other than INBOX and read a mail but
    leave others intact at status NEW;
  - open INBOX and read mail;
  - check the Incoming Message Folders with TAB;

then Pine is saying "No more incoming folders". I think Pine should go to
the Incoming Message Folder with the new mail messages.
Is this a bug?

I've noticed this behaviour in 3.93, 3.94, and 3.95 as well.  If you check
a folder with new messages, it seems to be taken out of the new mail queue
until additional new messages appear in it.  Pine is probably using the
last accessed time on the file and not the newmail flags to make that
determination.
