This is the Sieve version according to the headers in the messages:

X-Sieve: CMU Sieve 2.2

Testing 3 different ways of sending mail (mulberry, our webmail system, and 
command line unix using Sendmail), I still find the messages end up in 
their destination being marked "read" already, using 2 different clients to 
read (Mulberry & our webmail system).  I can try the OS X Mailapp tomorrow 
as well, but I'm getting the feeling I'm not going to see anything 
different.  So the issue still stands, and it still only effects some 
folders and not others.
