If TB encounters a message database without index, it will reindex by
automtically. No need to save the index file.

I would think if you later anything, it cannot be read back easily.
That's a guess.

You can save it as a unix file, but for TB to read it, you'll have to
reimport it into TB msg base format.

See 3.

TB will show error "Cannot open file". If you click "OK", you can
still read the message.

Archive (move) into a dummy account within TB. No need too figgle with
file manipulation.
