Weird timing... I just posted to the imaillist that I has an asp routine to do this.  
It will not recover but it will reload based on the last time the data was extracted...

However, the problem is that the database is my not be optimized.
The KB said there is no way to optimize from the command line... However, it also said 
closing the adminstrator performs an optimize.... so, is there a way to open and then 
close the Administrator from the command line that would kick off the optimize?
