. Just remove all the files from
the top-level .Spotlight-V100 directory on that volume. Then do the
-i on, and it WILL rebuild. At that point, you could have Console

The list is presented in a tiny unreadble font with narrow FIXED
column size. The aritcle titles are TRUNCATED, so no matter what

level, not block level.

was a Virus scanner that my dad had installed,
thinking that the reason for the crashes was a virus. Uninstalled

* to publish with the article
lists. Prior to 13 Sept, the email was 15 to 30 KB long, with
complete information - listing every changed and new article and
their urls. Now it's just a meatless high-noise email - no article
listing; just a link to that one badly written web page.
