    I've not thoroughly tested this utility (and I am by no means a coder),
    so I wouldn't run this on anything you don't already have a backup of. But hopefully someone somewhere finds this useful.

    thanks Jay :)

    I'll have a crack and let you know.

    Thanks to all who replied... it's an interesting thread.

    Best, Paul

    Hello Paul!

    A Mar:29:2026:15:55:38 JAM ERROR: subfield is suspiciously large!

    any thoughts on how best to resolve the problem?

    Do not use JAM for netmail. Really. Especially for routing systems with in tranist netmail a broken indexed area could destroy many netmails. With FTS1/OPUS style one message per file (*.msg) the risk is reduced to each message only.
