   Message Base Corruption

   Does anyone have any strategies for dealing with Message Base corruption? For   
   me, it always seems to happen with Fidonet Echomail message bases. Most often   
   the Allfix File Announce conference but most recently in FidoNet Sysops.   
      
   What I am seeing is this:   
      
   Occasionally I'll have a message base where the interactive reader always   
   sees new messages. But there will be messages that I can't view. For example   
   the last message when opened will show something like 264 of 265. But there   
   is no 265 displayed.    
      
   I've tried packing and purging but those don't seem to help in this   
   situation. If it's an active message base, when new messages arrive things   
   seem to repair themselves. But if the base is quieter then it could be a long   
   time before new messges come in.   
      
   Is there any other way to deal with issues like this?
