Did you read the message? The one which is planted locally here states:
==========================================================

Subject: DON'T DELETE THIS MESSAGE -- FOLDER INTERNAL DATA
X-IMAP: 0897750745 0000110670
This text is part of the internal format of your mail folder, and is not
a real message. It is created automatically by the mail system software.
If deleted, important folder data will be lost, and it will be re-created
with the data reset to initial values.
==========================================================
so it looks like a really bad idea to delete it (unless you have no other
mail in your folder). And it's not created by netscape, but by the mail
software itself.
