Any suggestions? First, if you haven't done it yet, move the inbox somewhere where it won't be touched accidentally, and make a copy of that, so that you can afford to make a few mistakes before you figure out the right way to fix it. Take a look at it under emacs or something and see if you can see what's going on. The mbox format is pretty regular and easy. -- Jeff Jeff Abrahamson <http://www.purple.com/jeff/> GPG fingerprint: 1A1A BA95 D082 A558 A276 63C6 16BF 8C4C 0D1D AE4B Attachment:
