Why do you doubt it? It happens frequently that messages corrupt the
database. What do you think was corrupt? If Entourage deleted the message,
then it was corrupt. Do you think the excellent rebuilder just arbitrarily
deletes any old thing? If that's what you believe, you should perhaps give
up using Entourage, or even computers. You are correct that the original
message as sent by your correspondent may well be OK - it was possibly a
mail server or some "event" interfering with the message as it was
downloading, or something internal even, which caused the corruption. Of
course it might also be the original - so if I were you I'd ask the sender
to copy his original content into a new message and send you that.
If the problem is that you did not notice who the sender was, or have no
idea which message got deleted, then try that utility which checks the
server if your message is still on the server. But don't download that same
copy again, unless you want to rebuild a second time. If you no longer have
the message on the server, then you've lost it, but saved several thousand
other messages by doing so.
