I first got frightened when I saw lots of ``(new file)'' messages when getting new mail. I'm now forced to run nnml-generate-overview-databases several times per session. I think this problem appeared somewhat recently -- I'm using 0.37 -- I don't think it was happening with 0.34. I can't figure out what conditions cause the .overview files to get trashed. (Possibly expiry? I'm using total-expire) I'm wondering if anyone else sees this behaviour. greg
