Subject says it all: I have some messages in the Queue which are

It's not enough to
just put files back into the queue - the destination addresess may be
marked as failed in them and will not be processed any more. The
failed recipient address will be listed in the queue file as

R E 05-10-2001 22:32:58 0000 mail.host.name account

The second character 'E' here means "Error". That should be changed
to "Waiting":

R W 05-10-2001 22:32:58 0000 mail.host.name account

If that's the case, you may be doing a really big multifile BBEdit
find/replace!

Or, if you'd prefer, just use this AppleScript:

on open theFileList
        set nl to ASCII character 13
        repeat with theFile in theFileList
                set fileCh to (open for access theFile with write permission)
                set curPos to 0
                set theData to ""
                repeat
                        set curPos to curPos + (length of theData) + 1
                        set theData to (read fileCh before nl)
                        if theData is "" then exit repeat
                        if (offset of "R E" in theData) is 1 then
                                set theData to "R W" & (characters 4
through -1 of �
                   theData as string) as text
                                write theData starting at curPos to fileCh
                                set theData to (read fileCh from
curPos before nl)
                        end if
                end repeat
                close access fileCh
        end repeat
end open

...and just drop the files you need to resubmit onto it.  Once finished,
you should quit and restart SIMS to get it to notice.
