Is there any way to keep the "seen" state in a reconstruct?

[Wesley Craig]

The seen list is indexed by the mailbox ID which is stored in the  
cyrus.header file.  If you don't copy the cyrus.header file, your  
seen data is useless.  Reconstruct will retain the mailbox ID if the  
cyrus.header file is intact.  Hope that helps.
