A lot of them were obviously deleted.  My program looks at the Re: 
reference # and then searches for that ID.  Since the IDs are 
sequential, I've never seen a message reference a higher ID.

I've even gone into the text file and used Find to look up these 
questionable references, and couldn't find the parent message 
ID.  Thousands of messages appear to be missing.
