I have always been aware that the cause of the problem was Arachne's failure to update the the old indexes after message files were deleted or moved to other folders. I never troubled myself to report the problem or to look for a fix because to me this has always been just a very minor annoyance. The problem with trying to fix a minor annoyance is that sometimes it results in the creation of a major annoyance. I won't fix it at this time, but I might wait until I get around to it. Right now I have to deal with fixing some major annoyances, and these are of course not Arachne related. We are happy for your solution and also I know that you are living a very charmed life because you have enough free time on your hands even to deal with fixing minor annoyances. Regards, Sam
