get to shrug.

Mikey gets poked with the sharp stick. ;)

In THEORY, the only message renumbering gizmo is the MAX utility MR, or it also
may be getting pranged with FASTECHO during that pass.

At the moment, the only way I have of solving it is to force MR to do a
renumber of only the NETMAIL directory after every TOSS operation and before
the system has finished calling each and every soul.

That keeps the whole insane thing at the bottom of the pit!  But it ain't very
sanitary living in a sewer like that...  grin.

It makes now difference whether I run MSGED or not.  Still there.

Crazy,  one day just erupted!  Can't get rid of it no matter what!

Since it is not a SQUISH format area, but a *.MSG area, I don't thing SQFIX can
handle it.  I just, for the heck of it tried SQPACK, but dunno yet what,if
anything it put to sleep.


--> Sleep well; OS/2's still awake! ;)
