Thanks for putting Andrew straight, be fascinating to see if he actually
admits his error |-)

No way, thats even worse, splitting the development stream |-)

More seriously, nope, the original code is such an abortion that I have
no confidence that its clear what its doing. And even if I was confident,
on something which matters, I STILL wont do anything except proper testing.

On this point system in total, I have actually now seen atleast 5 actual
faults, bugs, warts, blemishes etc, most of which just silently delete
mail without the slightest warning or any complaint at all.

That one a couple of days ago will likely make me get off my arse and
do a proper standalone message counter for PKTs atleast relatively soon
tho. Mainly coz even with the current versions of code I am using, there
are now about 4 know silent mail deleters which become visible with some
unusual occurrence.
