According to the manpage for mhfixmsg, it's supposed to make a backup copy of the original message before making alterations. Hopefully that worked, and hopefully the backup hasn't yet been overwritten, and then you can inspect the backup to see what the original looked like. If you are unaware, a backup is the same message number prefixed with a comma (,) in the folder where it is found. So for example, if your message number was 1234, you should have a ,1234 in the folder that you can look at. Andy
