I should say that the incorrect information recorded in the database causes this
problem. Removing the msf file fixes the problem. What can we do to prevent this
incorrect information written to the database?

M14 ... more likely

I don't have any good answer, except to write bug-free code. One problem that
I've had frequently is that the file stream code does not give you the correct
offset when calling tell unless you flush first. So if you ask for the file
position from the stream, you probably should flush first.

Other bugs include when you copy a msg hdr from another database and just use
the key from the first header, which won't be correct for the second database.

When we try to read a message given a file offset/message key, and the message
doesn't start with "From ", we could fail and mark the database invalid.

Using builds 2000-05-17 on win98, mac and linux this is fixed.  I deleted all of 
the messages in a POP folder, all messages were deleted.  Verified.
