It wasn't quite that easy. I ended up writing a repair script in Perl which is able to repair the list in 2 passes by finding the message lengths and rewriting the links. It will also rebuild the UIDs, though I see that mbxcvt is happy to do that. I just look for string matches with Perl regex, so a valid header in a message body would throw it. As so often happens, I thought I was writing a "quick" script and didn't go look to see if it had already been done, but having written it I thought I might as well make it available. ftp://andrew.triumf.ca/pub/mbxfix or http://andrew.triumf.ca/pub/mbxfix _______________________________________________ Mahogany-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mahogany-users
