Sam,
Thanks. That's what I needed to know. I have adjusted my tools
accordingly, and will let James take care of its own cleanup.
Now that I understand the problem more precisely, I found the code that does
it. It is in AvalonMailRepository.initialize(). The code builds a list of
the Streams and Objects, and deletes the non-intersecting sets.

Yes, I believe Serge made this change a couple months ago. If either the
Object or Stream file is missing, the other is deleted. There was some
discussion on this list about it.

If so,
