Today I had twice the problem that TB 2.0 lost a mail upon moving it
to a folder. The mails simply disappeared from the target folder because
they were lost from the index file. In every case the recreation of the index
made them reappear. But moving the mail to a new target folder reproduced the
problem. Deleting the .msf file and recreating it wouldn't fix the problem. In both cases a mail from GMX.DE with an attachment was involved. After the
mail was lost, it was invisible and couldn't be reached with any search action.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Mark and move a mail from GMX.de with attachment.
2. Open the target folder to check if the mail is lost.
3. Reindex the target folder to make the mail reappear again.



Don't compress the target folder or you will finally lose the mail!
