Hello,
What is your statistics target? What is your effective_cache_size?
Have you tried running the query as a cursor?
Sincerely,
Joshua D. Drake

I have run ANALYZE right before running this query.
I will run EXPLAIN ANALYZE when I can. I started running the query when I sent the first email and it is still running. Looke like it longer than an hour.
I will post the results of EXPLAIN ANALYZE in a few hours when I get them.
Thanks for all your help,
Andrew

While running, this query produces 100% iowait usage on its processor and takes a ungodly amount of time (about an hour).
This plan looks fairly reasonable if the rowcount estimates are accurate. Have you ANALYZEd the table lately? You might need to bump up the statistics target for the msg_log_time column to improve the quality of the estimates. It would be useful to see EXPLAIN ANALYZE results too (yes I know it'll take you an hour to get them...)
