Sure is.  I would like to do more to keep things going here, but Real Life 
keeps getting in the way.
 
We had a strange problem for a while.  No apparent changes to the Opus 
configs, yet all of a sudden, Opus began exiting every time, no matter what 
(we had it set up to exit after it picked up mail, or exit after edit, but 
not otherwise).
 
I planned for a couple of weeks to do a fresh install and then transfer 
everything over -- tedious task, never got around to it.
 
Then one day, in a fit of housecleaning caused by a full disk, I was deleting 
everything I could toss over the side, and got rid of a couple of zero-length 
files in the outbound.
 
And voila!  My exit-after-everything problem was cured.
 
We've also had trouble with the events breaking.  Looks like it's time to 
whip out Oevent and freshen up the file.
 
And my other mystery problem is that every time the netmail area gets scanned 
out, QM tells me it can't forward so-and-so message to somewhere in Zone 13, 
but we've already killed message so-and-so and as far as MsgEd or Opus is 
concerned, it isn't there.  Weird.  (I mean, we've renumbered over the 
original grunged message, so the new message number so-and-so is ordinary.)  
Weird.
 
Anyway, definitely too much dust sticking in the corners of 1.73a, gotta get 
the old vacuum out.  (Don't even have enough time to think about playing with 
the new version, alas.)
