Suddenly my read messeges are marked as unread

I have a client who’s messeges suddenly changed to the classic red color to symbolize unread. Why does this happen. My Notes administrator tells me this happens when there is a glitch on the Notes server. I’m hoping for a little better description. I know this is a known issue but I would like to provide users with a better explaination than its just what happens sometimes. Many thanks!

Subject: Some documents from KBase

Here is the knowledge collection on unread marks from KBase. This has links to every pertinent technote.

Happy reading,

Rob

Read and Unread Marks in Notes/Domino

DEFINITION OF A KNOWLEDGE COLLECTION

A focused compilation of documents that educates Analysts and Customers about a specific product or topic and serves as a source for general reference and as a supplement for training material.

Knowledge Collections are not designed to be an all-inclusive list of all documents dealing with the specific topic.

Example 1: A collection of documents describing features, functions, or troubleshooting tips for a new product.

Example 2: A collection of documents to help Analysts/customers better understand a specific area within an existing product (e.g., how the Resource Reservation database works when scheduling appointments using Notes Calendaring and Scheduling).

Non-Example: A collection of all the new documents published in a given week or month for all products.
