The other thing to remember is to backup the NG folders (or copy the NG
messages to local folders), as when the NGs are killed, all the messages in
that NG will be deleted in you local message store, irretrievably.

2. Pour a stiff one and toast my mentors Jim Pickering, Steve Cochran,
Frank
Saunders, Marfer, Majik & the incomparable Tom Koch.
