Further info on this post. The archive mbox still has the complete set of mails in it. lurker webpage shows, as I said, only old mails. If I click on thread tree it seems to know about the other mails there should be in that thread, but says they are 'deleted'. Even if I rerun the lurker-index to reimport mails they think they are deleted. Using the -d option leaves the lurker db as the original size, without it it doubles so it obviously is importing correctly. Why would the lurker database think mails are deleted?
