Hello All,

Not too long ago, I marked a bunch of (Squish database) messages to copy
into another folder...  Instead of hitting the "C" key (for copy), I
accidentally hit the "D" key (for delete).  Not having a Squish UNDelete
facility, I created a very rough configuration of timEd to recover my
deleted messages (GoldEd doesn't have such a useful feature [yet]).  The
timEd undelete routine performed reasonably well enough and I was able to
recover #_most_# of the deleted messages.....

Now, I have a problem with the messages being out of synchronized
chronological date order.... for example, I have a message dated 8 Jul 00
followed by a message dated 22 Feb 98, and then, further on a message dated
14 Apr 01, etc. I had thought about using a text editor to physically move
the messages into their correct chronological order (a very labor intensive
task) when Peter Knapper (in the TUB echomail area) suggested that all I
would need to do is find a utility that would read, sort and rewrite the
Index file as specified by a users criteria (write date, received date,
sender name, etc.).

I would appreciate if someone could tell me if such a utility exists
already, or if they could create such a utility.

Thank you in advance....

           Cheers ... Gerald
