I suspect you are right about the Inbox       corruption. The point of the .msf files it to keep the actual mbox       files from taking more of a beating then necessary.              Lee              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
