OK, I'm trying to understand the difference.  According to the manual 
-ctime is "change of file status" and -mtime is "last modification 
time".  I think I understand what modification means (changing the 
contents of the file) but what is "change of file status"?  In my 
particular situation, while reviewing my spam folder for possible "ham", 
my IMAP client may change the message status from unread to read.  How 
would this affect the actual message file?

Thanks again!

Drew
