Can some please help me?

I created a MySQL table with newsgroup articles in them, and indexed them on
article_num,

article_num int unsigned not null primary key

But now, as I found out that searching on message_id, using a WHERE clause
tends to get very slow. So, I was wondering whether I can change the table
to have message_id be the secondary key. Now it is,

message_id varchar(255)

But I would like it to become,

message_id varchar(255) not null secondary key

Can I alter the table to this effect, or am I too late? :(

Thanks,

- Mark
