Obviously from my last post, I'm not through my inbox yet... As I mentioned, in at least one place in old (1.x) dbmail mail insertion (from memory, it seemed to be in the imap code, with a copy command or somesuch) the status flag was not used to mark a message that wasn't yet fully inserted (I think everywhere else the status was set to 5 or something) - so everywhere that checked a message status also got addended with an "AND unique_id != ''" clause and probably at some later point someone looked at indexes in use and added unique_id to a lot of them. -- Jesse Norell [EMAIL PROTECTED] is not my email address; change "administrator" to my first name. --
