Well, I was hopeful at first, because when I first went into my spool and looked at it the "F" was missing from the first "From", so I edited it and saved, and went back to Sylpheed, configured my account to retrieve from local spool, hit "g", but still no go. Damn, I've got 385 mails in there, their accumulating like crazy and I can't pick them up. I tried moving the file to a temp dir, wiping it out and start fresh but permission denied. Could I move it as root, recreate it, and start with a new blank spool, or am I playing with fire there? Maybe it just got corrupted when everything went "black"! > You'll notice that the spool is just the messages with a blank line > separating each one.

It looks good from what I can see, all the messages are separated properly as you described...
