|    Message Base Corruption    |
|    11 Sep 21 16:20:33    |
      From: nospam.Travis.Mehrer@f303.n134.z1.fidonet.org              Does anyone have any strategies for dealing with Message Base corruption? For       me, it always seems to happen with Fidonet Echomail message bases. Most often       the Allfix File Announce conference but most recently in FidoNet Sysops.              What I am seeing is this:              Occasionally I'll have a message base where the interactive reader always       sees new messages. But there will be messages that I can't view. For example       the last message when opened will show something like 264 of 265. But there       is no 265 displayed.              I've tried packing and purging but those don't seem to help in this       situation. If it's an active message base, when new messages arrive things       seem to repair themselves. But if the base is quieter then it could be a long       time before new messges come in.              Is there any other way to deal with issues like this?              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
