Corrupted Folder.BAG files in PMMail 2000 (Windows)

[Jimmy McCorquodale]

I had this happen here to once with a DOC file as an attachment also.  It multiplied into 3 copies.

I thought of it as a one time fluke, but since someone else had it, I guess I am wrong...  We will 
look into it.


To fix it, I moved one copy of the offending message to another folder and deleted the rest of the 
duplicates, re-indexed it, and then brought the one copy back.   I haven't had it happen again since 
then (about a month).
