Hi Peter!

No, orphaned mail archives are shown below the ?LO file they belong to. You 
have to check visually if all archives listed are mentioned in the ?LO file. 
The ones that aren't, are the orphaned files. That's a LOT of work if you have 
several hundred outbound files!

 >PK:         Options ==> File Filtering

That allows me to have SOB list only the ?LO files and all mail archives, but I 
can't get it to show me only the orphans.

Yes, it happens on a regular basis. I don't know yet why they occur, but I 
suspect binkd to be the culprit. I use squish 1.11 for OS/2 as my mailprocessor 
and binkd 0.9.5a (I intend to upgrade to 0.9.5/stable this weekend) as the 
mailer.

Kind regards,
