That is illogical, Mr Spock.

If I hit "I" (after creating an index), a new index is NEVER created.
If I select a message and view it, thereby getting an "INDEX" button,
and hit that button, a new index is ALWAYS created.
If instead I had hit "I" there will be no new index.
If instead I hit "ESC" (for back) SOMETIMES a new index is created.

Seems to me the cache is just as full in all the above conditions. ;-)

Also seems to me that core is the thing interpreting both hotkey "I"
and the button argument file://inbox.dgi. Seems they do not resolve
to the same thing. i.e. ok, Insight re-creates the index when core
exercises the line in mime.cfg. That's fair.
But shouldn't core check to see if the index exists first ?
It seems do that on the "I" hotkey. :)
