Thank you for the reply Mr. Berkowitz,

The behavior that you described is what I expected to happen, but I've
tested the scenario now a little more. I can confirm that mail from an IMAP
server, does correctly turn the icon to a local copy icon (no wires). But
mail from an Exchange server, and mail from a POP server do not. Their
icons remain the envelope with the antenna wires, even after a local copy,
and even after the original message has been deleted from the server. I
suppose this is a bug then?
