Hello,

I've been following this newsgroup for a while, and the subject of 
corrupted msf files comes up quite often.

Wouldn't it be nice if Mozilla itself would notice that the index is 
corrupted and rebuild it? I'm just jumping in without knowing anything 
about the organization of the msf files, but if they tell, for example, 
that a message begins from position x and ends at y, it wouldn't be 
feasible to check that they don't overlap or so?

If it's not easy, how about making rebuilding index a menu choice and 
point that out at some troubleshooting guide or something? A beginner 
might not like the idea of deleting few specific files, but if it was a 
menu choice, it would be much easier for him. There seems to be 
something about this in bug 
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=81141
How about detecting a crash and suggesting rebuild when restarted?

just my little thoughts...

Ere
