What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Receive a reply from a non-follower

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

To see the reply.  :)  Nothing.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

0.51  WM6

Please provide any additional information below.

I caught the message in Twhirl and noticed it wasn't on PockeTwit.  They
later followed me and the reply showed up in PockeTwit.

Seems strange, I often get @replies from users who do not follow me.  And you 
get the
@replies I send you, and I do not follow you.  

Perhaps it was just a temporary glitch from the twitter api?

You know, that is true.  Can't explain it.  Very odd occurrence.  Glitch it is. 
 If I
happen to see it happen again, I'll let you know.

The only thing that is different is that I do follow you.  I doubt that would 
matter
though.

For shits and giggles, maybe I'll send you a tweet from my wife's account, 
which she
rarely uses.

I just sent a tweet from @slambert11.  You get it ok?

So far I don't see it on the website or any clients.  May have to do with the 
fact
that slambert11 has their updates protected.

Hmmm.  That's weird.  I see it because I follow her.  I would think if you 
replied to
someone that didn't follow you that it would still show up, regardless if you 
have a
private account.  That's kinda lame.

Does PockeTwit use a different sort of API than Twhirl?  Is there a mobile API 
or
something?  Because it showed up on Twhirl.

It's not that big of a deal.  I just thought it was odd.  If it happens again, 
I'll
let ya know.

No, both applications use the REST api for twitter.  Twhirl might not be using 
the
"since_id" parameter when requesting information, while PockeTwit does.  This 
tells
twitter to only send updates that PockeTwit hasn't seen yet.  Maybe there was
something going on in there.

Twitter just isn't very reliable sometimes.  Little glitches can be very hard to
track down.

I'm going to mark this as fixed, since I haven't encountered any more trouble 
with it.
