To try it copy one *.sqd into an empty directory then do

hptsqfix areaFILENAME.sqd

 hptsqfix is a program that found and correct errors in  squish  message
       bases.   It  read  broken msgbase file .sqd and build new
       msgbase files: .tmd and .tmi.
       After repair you must backup old .sq*  files  and  rename
       .tm* to .sq*

OPTIONS
       -f     try to find next header after broken msg.
       -e     areafilename has extension, strip it.
       -u     undelete (restore deleted messages).
       -s     sort messages by date written.

It does not need any husky config file.

I set up a local echo for testing and rename the fixed *.sqd to the name of
that so i can see old and new in the editor and can compare the result
easily.

Regards

Kai
