   Earlier this morning, I did a very simple test which was to delete one     
   single message. Doesn't get much simpler, does it?   
      
   SemPoint immediately locked up and after watching the twirly-whirly     
   wheel spinning round and round for something like 20 seconds, I got     
   control back. The message list was still there but when I hit      
   on one of the messages, the message was blank, as were all the others.     
   I then looked at my messagebase directory and there it was in all its     
   glory, the infamous 4Gb file - Pah!!   
      
   From my tests so far, I conclude that the only viable message base     
   format is *.MSG - Hmph!   
      
   Regards,   
   Martin
