Re: OT: Mozilla lost tons of email

Hello Spehro,


"back to normal" in zillions of places in that large file. Oh man, I
hope there is an easier way.

Some of us, using UltraEdit, could edit "back to normal" in "zillions
of places" in a matter of seconds ;-)


Almost any text editor ought to be able to do that.


Not if the file is 200MB. So far four of the ones I tried have crashed :-(


Ultraedit can handle a 1G file easily. You can also configure it to
not make a temp file for files over a specified size so that you're
editing bits of the original directly (in which case it loads faster,
but edits are permanent).


Meantime I figured it out. So, if anyone runs into the same problem where the mail client will not show all email that it should here is where I found help:

This restored the email file. Guess I owe Captain Davis a beer. But there is no link on his web space how to reach him and at least thank him.
