I'm sure that  they are *not* ancient  messages.. I'll give you an
example:

I post a message to bboard "advisor.foo". About 30 mins later, I check
for new messages. I'm subscribed to advisor.foo, so I expect to see my
last post. Messages shows me that the folder has new messages, and a
check from messages show the folder has new messages, but none are
displayed. The .MS.Master/Update file has been updated, and the message
is indeed in the folder. (I cd ~bboard/.MESSAGES/advisor/foo). I can
then make the message appear by a "scavenge" of the bboard.

Is this any help?

Bob
