Interesting note!

I have a solution of sorts!
This system gets very few NetMail INBOUND items! I'd decided to try to operate
in on none. So if I got one, read it, I just killed it. Suddenly,I got one I
needed to leave on it for a few days.
Suddenly, the whole grunged message deal stopped!
Seems like, for whatever reason, FE absolutely now has to have at least ONE
read or unread NetMail message that is *TO* the system as 1.MSG in the NetMail
directory!
As long as it is there, fine.
If you don't have it there, disaster!
I elaborated on how some of this might be happening in this latest incantation
of OS/2 DOS-VDM sessions. However it's conjecture and I cannot prove it at
this point ...
