   Hi mark,

   I know one limit in FMail. When a JAM area grows bigger then 0x3FF0 = 16368   
   messages, it messes up the last read pointer on import of new messages. I have   
   one such area on this point system. When it happens it shows >5000 new   
   messages. I just have to scroll to the end of the list, and find out what the   
   new messages are for myself. But that's it, the JAM area doesn't get   
   unreadable or otherwise broken... So nothing like what Manual experienced.   
      
   I already looked at this problem in the code, and there is no easy fix without   
   a rewrite of that part of the code. I might have another look when it becomes   
   too annoying, untill then I regard it as a cosmetic problem. ;)
