Purge deletions after scavenging [No] ? Checking for hidden messages in folder ~/.MESSAGES/info-andrew-pend. Found 28 old hidden messages in ~/.MESSAGES/info-andrew-pend (0 orphaned snapshots, 27 processing errors). Scavenged /i/salzman/.MESSAGES/info-andrew-pend. CUI> recons info-andrew-pend How do you want to sort the reconstructed folder 1 - By time stamp on the raw files 2 - By parsing the 'Date' header (slower; sets time stamps) Choose one [1 - By time stamp on the raw files]: 2 Reconstructing ~/.MESSAGES/info-andrew-pend; please wait... Reconstructed folder ~/.MESSAGES/info-andrew-pend with 228 entries CUI> EOF -Isaac (salzman@rand.org)
