IMail takes care of it.  I don't recall exactly how, but you can send 
yourself an E-mail and find out.  :)

>???  is the < converted to &lt; or something?

You'll find out.

>and I've already tried deleting the UID...no effect.

What effect were you looking for?  Deleting the .uid file should have no 
effect, as IMail will recreate it.  Or do you mean that you added an E-mail 
to the .mbx file, and then deleted the .uid file, and then when IMail 
recreated the .uid file it didn't include your E-mail?

>what is the uid anyway?  is it an index file?  (email 1 starts on line 1, 
>email 2 starts on line 50, etc)?

It is an index file.  I don't recall exactly how it is set up (you can 
figure it out with a little work) but yes, it includes the location of each 
E-mail (I think the location is the number of bytes into the file).
