I have confirmed that this particular message is/was not in any of the
Chandler special folders at the time I did the reload.  It is sitting in
my INBOX.  What criteria does the IMAP INBOX scanning code use to select
chandler messages?

The item marked as "New" is the original message with the date of the
25th of March, the one that is "Done" is the edited one where I deleted
extra text and put in the actions that I took dated the 28th.  The
"Done" item has the message/mail status removed.  Does Chandler store
any IMAP user attributes to mark a message as one of it's messages?
