I should have pointed out that I have other folders that have messages
that were put in via drag-n-drop and via procmail and I can see all of them.
And that before the folder just quit working I could see all of the email in
the folder that I removed the index files from. It's like the indexes didn't 
handle all of the messages in the folder correctly.
