That's way beyond me.  But you make it sound like it won't be done for
the foreseeable future.  Is this correct?  Is it Just Too Hard?

Someone said something about re-spooling to fix the number.  Even
though this is would be only a partial solution, it might be worth
trying for me, just to get rid of the annoying message about me having
too many messages.  Can I do it without the effort of killing and
reincarnating my INBOX?  ie, is there a single-command/button
solution?

Thanks!
