Hi Johan,
>PK: Highlight the "lost" archive then press Right Mouse Button. Select the
>PK: "unorphan" option. I think that one does it.
JZ> Yes, that works. Unfortunately, SOB doesn't seem to
JZ> able to show me ONLY the orphaned files,
I don't have any orphaned files at the moment so I can't be sure, however from
memory, the orphaned files ALWAYS show up at the top of the list, BEFORE any
.FLO files. Normally SOB lists files in this order -
All unrecognised files (EG: BinkD .ILO and .TRY files),
All unattached packet files,
Then for each valid .?UT and .?LO file found -
.?UT and .?LO files are listed in Network/Node order,
All files listed INSIDE the previous .?UT or .?LO file.
All unattached files should be included in those 2 groups right at the top of
the list. You may also wish to use -
Options ==> File Filtering
to try and isolate your files. I don't have any "bad" mail packets at the
moment so I can't tell exactly what happens, but SOB probably can do what you
want.

Then a PM app is probably not a lot of use for unattented operation. Do you
frequently have a lot of orphaned files? Its rare that I see them here.
