*be aware*

that page has instructions that tell you to delete '.msf' file, which
does clear some problems.

one thing that all should be aware of, anytime a 'folder file' is edited,
the '.msf' file must be deleted.

*anytime* a 'folder file' is edited, *or* a '.msf' file is deleted, the
'panacea.dat' file in 'profile' directory *must* be deleted also.

when 'panacea.dat' file is deleted, thunderbird will take extra time
opening and folder pane to left will be displayed unexpanded.

open 'account' or 'Local Folder' branch to see see folders.

what ever folder you were working with will be shown as empty. simply
click that folder and it will be reread.

/*notes:*

 anytime you edit a 'folder file' or delete a '.msf' file, you
 should do so with thunderbird *closed*. to do otherwise can/may/will
 corrupt a 'folder file'.

 anytime you edit a 'folder file', if you do so with and editor set to
 remove end of line spaces and they are in header, header can/may/will
 become broken.

 to find these broken headers, click on 'Subject' column bar and move
 scroll bar to top. any columns you see with a blank in 'Recipient' and
 'Sender' columns indicate a broken header.

 highlight the row and press <ctrl+u> to show source of header. open an
 editor window, then 'drag and drop' full "X-UIDL: " line to editor.

 after collecting "X-UIDL: " lines, close thunderbird, open file browser,
 open directory with 'folder file', open 'folder file' in a new editor
 window.

 with both editor windows open, in editor window of saved "X-UIDL: " lines,
 drag "X-UIDL: " line to highlight, press <ctrl+c> to copy, press <alt+tab>
 to move to editor window with 'folder file'. press <ctrl+f> to open
 'Find  text' window, press <ctrl+v> to enter "X-UIDL: " line into
 'Text to find'  bar, press <enter>.

 when "X-UIDL: " line is highlighted, look thru header for a line space,
 move cursor to line space to remove line space. look thru rest of header
 for any more line spaces, and delete them.

 if you are looking at source of an email that is multi-part, or is
 pgp/enigmail, do not remove line space.

 if you are looking at source of an email that has 'DKIM-Signature:' or
 other header lines that are titled with a label followed by a ': ", and
 there is a line space within them, do not remove line space, as it may be
 caused by line wraps.

/*seton*


i know this is a bit of [OT] for 'Subject:', but it is intended to help.
