I noticed that when I have newsgroup MSF index files from sometime ago, and if
there are a lot of expired articles / messages in the newsgroup MSF index, and
then I click the link displayed in an expired message to delete all the expired
articles, the MSF index file does not appear to be compacted as in a mail file
would, if the mail file was compacted. But instead, the MSF index file size
actually bloats after expired articles are removed. Then, when more new
newsgroup headers are downloaded the MSF file size increases further.
Is anyone aware of whether there is a compact function for MSF files or is the
only way to compact them simply to delete the MSF file while Seamonkey is not
running, then restart SM and access the newsgroup to completely re-download all
current headers? I have been using the latter procedure to reduce MSF file sizes
in my newsgroup folders.
Also, I noticed that MSF and DAT files for UNSUBSCRIBED newsgroups are not
deleted by Seamonkey and again I have to delete them manually. Is this by design
or it is an issue that will be addressed by future SM releases?
