Then the following Rexx Script should edit the file AND delete the Bag
file, just leaving the reindexing.  But, it still does not work.  For
some reason I still end up with the (null) subject, and I've double
checked that the BAG file is really erased.

/* Load Rexx Functions */
Call RxFuncAdd 'SysLoadFuncs','RexxUtil','SysLoadFuncs'
Call SysLoadFuncs
/* Get command line parameters */
parse arg Fname
/* Get current directory of Message file */
Curdir=FILESPEC(path, Fname)
/* Create path and filename of Folder.bag */
BagFile=Curdir||folder.bag
/* Delete Bagfile */
rc=SysFileDelete(Bagfile)
/* Edit message with EPM */
'epm.exe' Fname
exit

Results the same, the subject does not get changed.  I'm baffled.
