[pmmail-list] Major surprise - blank messages

[Dean Boulding]

Along the lines of an uninstall, I am unhappy with a few bugs appearing in build 
2661 under Win2k.  Does anyone know what is involved in going back to a more 
stable build (2502 worked well for me, and still does so at home under XP)?  Can 
I do a simple uninstall/install or do I need to manually move directories and 
rebuild?  This is less than satisfying for the manual editing required to rebuild 
filters, etc.

TIA,

Dean
