[nos-bbs] again - can someone reproduce MM and/or MC index issue ?

[Andrew Pepper]

Maiko,

Doing a MM from one area to another seems to trigger it.

I'm running 2.0p.1 which seems better with this, but not fixed.

Deleting the the <area>.usr and then doing an 'index <area>' resolves it.

Next time the forward kicks off the message that was "stuck" goes right 
through and forwards complete.

Andrew, K1YMI
