First, Insight does NOTHING unless core tells it to (as Glenn pointed out) by exercising the line in mime.cfg. Currently, it always creates a new index when that line is exercised, whether it needs to or not. I submit that theoretically a flag could be set by Insight whenever a file is moved or deleted indicating that the current index is now invalid, and ONLY if the index is missing or invalid should a new one be created the _next_ time inbox.dgi is exercised. Ok, it would be less of a problem if I spent time cleaning up my HD instead of writing this crap. <G> > WARNING: Every word written by me above could be absolutely positively > wrong, totally inaccurate, and laughingly ignorant.

As you are abundantly aware, an accurate and detailed understanding of Arachne is hard to come by and _requires_ this kind of discussion. ;-) - Clarence Verge -- - Help stamp out FATWARE.
