Yep, same thing happened with me after deleting a bunch of messages.  
Here's what I now see when I look in my "msgbase" directory .....

Oh Joy! :-(

I've seen enough with the huge .jhr file, thanks.

Further to what Alan said in another post .....

If you still have Fido Package Deluxe installed, all the husky stuff  
is in there. There's everything you want(and more) in \Binkley\hpt  
including an already configured and working hpt config file. Just copy  
it all over to your SemPoint setup and then change the paths in the  
hpt config file accordingly. There may be other bits 'n bobs that need  
editing too.

Regards,
Martin
