Re: [Evolution] Mismatch between subject and message contents

[Jeff Nelson <jnmnus yahoo com>]

My original question has gone unanswered, so I've done some digging.

1. The web page at http://go-evolution.org/Camel.Local describes the 
format of Mbox and maildir. The header "Mbox bugs" on this page seems to 
describe the exact problem I'm having, but it doesn't explain how to fix it.

2. I poked around in ~/.evolution/mail/views and found four views 
related to my Inbox:

current_view-maildir:_home_jnmnus_Mail#._INBOX.xml
custom_view-maildir:_home_jnmnus_Mail#._INBOX.xml
custom_view-maildir:_home_jnmnus_Mail#INBOX.xml
current_view-maildir:_home_jnmnus_Mail#INBOX.xml

The THIRD file has strange values for the expansion attribute:

---cut here---
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ETableState state-version="0.100000000000000">
 <column source="0" expansion="1.000000000000000"/>
 <column source="3" expansion="1.000000000000000"/>
 <column source="1" expansion="1.000000000000000"/>
 <column source="4" expansion="0.983022071307301"/>
 <column source="5" expansion="1.008488964346350"/>
 <column source="6" expansion="1.008488964346350"/>
 <grouping>
   <leaf column="6" ascending="true"/>
 </grouping>
</ETableState>
---cut here---

I believe the values should be either 1 or 0. I don't think this is the 
cause of the trouble I'm seeing, but I mention it just in case it is 
related.


Unless I'm told this is not the right thing to do, I'm going to delete 
the files

INBOX.ev-summary
INBOX.cmeta
INBOX.ibex.index
INBOX.ibex.index.data

and hope that they get regenerated after I restart evolution. Thanks in 
advance for any assistance.
