      Hello Wilfred!   
      
   23 Oct 16 23:46, you wrote to me:   
      
    AP>> I need to be able to purge the message bases (as they do get quite   
    AP>> large and slow things down) and retain more than 9999 messages.   
      
    WV> I've changed that to a maximum of 65535, for the next release. ;)   
      
   That would help as my magic # is 25000   
      
    AP>> I also need to be able to pack the jambases without renumbering   
    AP>> them.   
      
    WV> Why do you need that?   
      
   For those of us who provide NNTP reading services it's necessary.   
      
   In NNTP the last read pointer is not kept on the BBS... It is kept on the   
   newsreaders.  It's important to not renumber on the bases that are read by   
   NNTP readers and since some of us are providing fido by NNTP then we need a   
   message packer that does not renumber.  Every time my message base is   
   renumbered it throws my NNTP users for a loop.
