You /edited/ Inbox.dbx or a message in your OE Inbox folder?

A one-byte change in a DBX file can render the entire thing useless. If one
of Steve's tools can't recover anything from the DBX file, chances are that
everything's gone.

Hello,

I need some help please with my corrupt inbox.dbx file. I recently
tried to open it to edit one of the messages directly (don't ask!) and I
only changed a few characters in the file. Unsurprisingly, when I now open
up OE6, my inbox folder is totally empty. I tried changing removing the
changes I'd made to the file but to no avail.

I've tried various DBX extraction programs but they all fail, they all
think the inbox.dbx file is empty where in fact is has 25MB of messages in
it.

Could somebody please, please help with this? Surely it must be possible
to convince OE6 to read the file?

Many thanks,

Lindsay
