Yeah, I've been looking at all the .dat files with notepad.  Damn, it takes
a long time to open some of the big ones.  I've got one on CD that I'm
pretty sure is the inbox, but it's 43.005K, and in notepad it all looks
like chinese.  Thing is, it doesn't have the same file name as the Inbox
.dat and .idx files presently in use.
