If you look at the further comments related to this bug, it requires
that the index state of the Outbox is messed up (mine was due to hard
drive overflow).
As I no longer have that situation in the index file, it is not possible
to reproduce it.
As mentioned in the following discussion, if Evolut
I have not reported it upstream due to time constraints (and due to the
fix I found and managed to cure my system).

Here's some new info:
This "feature" keeps following me across updates, but as the power
supply at my Amazon base has stabilized considerably lately, it has not

Today I accidentally clicked on "Expunge" while Outbox was selected, and
