Any time the currently displayed message number is greater than the current
scan_ptr, the scan_ptr should be updated. For every message displayed, the
last_read should be updated. These apply regardless of the method of message
reading/scanning.

Yeah, that was fixed quite a while ago but the jsobjs.html hasn't be
re-generated since then. Thanks,
