You will get the effect if you re-edit a message a few times, then dont
shut down OLX properly. Each of the versions of a message end up in the
OUTBOX on the disk as you do each edit, but OLX keeps the message status
on which ones were edited and replaced in memory. So if you dont exit
OLX properly for whatever reason, the status is lost, and ALL the edits
are treated as new messages not yet exported to the REP. So when you
produce a REP, they all end up in there.

Its no big deal if you know about it. If say a power flick causes the
status to be lost, just load OLX, and manually delete the prior edits
from the OUTBOX before you export the REP. Or if you managed to create
the REP before you remember, you can delete them from it too, tho thats
a bit slower.
