Hmm.  I just noticed that Agent is dropping messages unexpectedly.  For example,
I posted message <http://www.lugnet.com/off-topic/geek/?n=1132> yesterday.
There are now ~12 messages in that thread.  As I was reading through messages
today, I saw there were 5 or 6 messages in the thread, unread.  But the initial
posting was missing.  I thought that was odd, so I refreshed (by clicking the
"download new headers" button, and I've got Agent set to automatically retrieve
messages for all new headers).  The final result of that was that all but *one*
of the messages went away.  These were *unread* messages.  I jumped into the web
interface, scanned through the thread, and replied to a message or two.  But I
only show 2 of them in Agent.

Lately, I've been noticing more follow-ups to messages that aren't downloaded,
in various lugnet groups, but I haven't noticed anything *this* blatent.

I've got the Purge options set to never purge unread messages, and only purge
read messages after 60 days.

Anyone have any suggestions?  I could start over, with new data files, but I'd
hate to lose all those messages from the second LUGNET beta-test phase.
