So I spent some time looking around for JAM message base utilities - to list, fix, pack etc (for use with HPT), but couldnt find any. So curious to hear what you will find.

It might taking a budding programmer (apam) to build something against the jam message library (which I didnt find).

But back to your problem, how would I fix it? (I'm assuming you want to keep the history?)

I would RESCAN to a new temporary node, blow it away, and RESCAN back, or
back it up and run a pack, which I would expect to fix issues - but depending how early the corruption is, it may blow away many messages.

(If 1/101 has the same history, then you could negate the need to rescan to that temporary node.)

Good luck :)
