Would it surprise you to learn that I never saw that message?  It sure did
me.  Anyway, I think I know why now.  The day that arrived, I had a grunged
message base and had to run SQFIX, retoss, link, and decided to pack the
areas as well, and that message somehow ended up being moved before my
lastread pointer.

Dunno why that should have happened, as I've never noticed such a thing
before, nor do I know if squish or msged was at "fault" either.

BTW, since I mentioned the other day that I hadn't had a grunged area for a
while, I suddenly had one (how typical!), and it was in an area to which I
had done a REPOTH from my personal mail area.  Bog standard HPFS cache
values as well.  As it's almost impossible to reproduce at will, I'll just
have to wait until it happens again, and try to remember to send you the
*.SQ? files before I fix them next time.

Regards, Bill
