Cheers, Colin.
Did you read the message? The one which is planted locally here states: ========================================================== Date: Wed, 10 Feb 1999 14:38:57 +0000 (GMT) Subject: DON'T DELETE THIS MESSAGE -- FOLDER INTERNAL DATA X-IMAP: 0897750745 0000110670 This text is part of the internal format of your mail folder, and is not a real message. It is created automatically by the mail system software. If deleted, important folder data will be lost, and it will be re-created with the data reset to initial values. ========================================================== so it looks like a really bad idea to delete it (unless you have no other mail in your folder). And it's not created by netscape, but by the mail software itself.
