ANY operation which makes QM look for all messages in an area will stop
after the first 1024 messages - no ifs, ands, or buts.  That includes
linking and netmail scanning.  Echomail is safe due to the high-water mark,
but not if you do a rescan.

No, since it's going forward.

Yep - but watch out if you have more than 1024 messages.
