Jerome,

I recently received a number of 13MB emails which had the attachments in
the Body of the email instead of attachments.  After deleting them I
thought it would be wise to Compact my data base.  I used the menu option
for this before going to bed and woke up to find PowerMail rebuilding my
Sort Index.  As with before this will take about 16 hours.  Here are some
more facts:

1.  I'm still using the 5.1 beta (don't ask...) with 10.2.8

2.  I have not crashed since we last emailed

3.  Yesterday I had a problem with message subject lines overwriting each
other as if the messages were jumbled together on top of one another. 
Ironically it only affected the messages in my PowerMaill Discussion
folder :-) This did not appear to cause any functional problems, but to be
on the safe side I deleted them all, quit (empties the trash), and
restarted.  No problems noted after this.

4.  I've quit and restarted PowerMail at least once after this without a
problem.

What do you think the problem is?  I am now obviously very disapointed
with this result and now wonder if this will happen to me everytime I try
to Compact.  Any ideas?

Also, could you *PLEASE* do something about the slowness of the rebuilds? 
It really is a serious issue, even if it happens to a customer only once
(this is now my 4th time in as many weeks).

Thanks!

Steve
