Helder, YOU are now my hero!!! I was able to retrieve this message from an old Mail Database when my current one BLEW UP under Jaguar. (Note: this is also a warning to all. CE was acting strangely, got confused when trying to unpack messages and froze, then upon restart, came back with a message that said that the Mail Database was created with a more recent and incompatible version of CE. I am using CE 2.0 v3. There is nothing more recent.) I had tried everything and was in the midst of despairing when I came across the above suggestion -- and IT WORKED and saved virtually everything in tact. Thank you, my friend!!!
