I just found a copy of the original mail. It looks as if the first 2858 bytes of the original mail were overwritten by the spam mail. This includes the preceding "From - [timestamp]" line. The spam mail was from Nov 19, 2006, but the oldest mails are from Feb 20, 2006 (the second and third mail were from the same person who also sent me the mail, which was later overwritten). These are the timestamp lines of the first three mails in the corrupted mailbox file. ~From - Sun Nov 19 17:02:10 2006 ~From - Mon Feb 20 22:09:03 2006 ~From - Mon Feb 20 22:09:03 2006 So for me it looks like that: - - The first fulltext search gives me a set of mails out of several mailbox files, which I delete from their respective mailbox files. - - My second fulltext search gives me a new set of mails, of which the first match gets written to a mailbox file, corrupting the first mail in this mailbox. By writing these lines I ask myself what happens if I delete some mails from huge mailbox files and while these get rearranged and therefore rewritten in the background, start a new operation on exactly these mailboxes, including those being written that moment. The corrupted mailbox was something around 30 MB of size and it wasn't the only huge mailbox file to be changed. caspar -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGYt/MzpQ+GCsPNMERAgTFAJ4gSgC9mPCjLyfudAtm4HUlBEtnZQCg5BbP 4uCAw4Hg9EbU0DQU3cSdPBc= =YU2b -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
