I do have it running daily, but it doesn't do anything in those cases where I
haven't set the message area to any particular limits, like the one in
question:
- 672 - Old=1131352; New=1131352
This is after I'd trimmed out a bunch of stuff...
5400 messages? There were something over 8000 of them in there, I forget how
many now. And yes, this is the dos version.
