This is why I stated in a prior message to delete the folder's index
(folder.bag) file and reindex. PMMail reindexing with an existing index
file does not update entries that remain valid for that folder (ie the
serialized file name is still in the folder). Under these conditions,
PMMail only deletes entries for files no longer present or adds entries
for files added outside of PMMail. If you delete the index file, you force
PMMail to rebuild the index file and the updated subject should then be
included in the index file.
