Bill Cattey seems to be having some problems with it, but it > should basically work. yeah, i've messed with this a little. the doc said to use scavenge, but that didn't cut it (since i was running it for the first time). reconstruct didn't work right off either w/o .MS_MsgDir existing in the first place. i did try scavenge on an already built folder but it still had problems. i had to do a reconstruct again to get it to work right. could be pilot error, don't know. it seemed to work ok for some folders, not others. wierd. but hey, bugs and all - i'm happy this works at all!!! thanks! -Isaac (salzman@rand.org)
