Blame your uw-imap for this one.  uw-imap seems to want to keep a header
email in the folder so that it doesn't have any problems reading it
(read the message, gives you details).  Unfortunately it puts that same
message in all folders it works with, even the spool file.  This isn't
the fault of squirrelmail itself, but more the fault of the imap server.
 SquirrelMail will not display this message because the imap server
simply ignores the message.  I myself have wondered how to stop the imap
server from making this message, but was un-successful.  I've since
changed imap server to courier which uses a different mail storage.
