Thanks for the response.  I don't recall ever killing KMail, although I might 
have once or twice.  I generally leave my machine on for weeks at a time.  
KMail runs continuously.  I tried what you suggested.  All of the "No 
Subject" emails are gone and so are all of the email messages that they used 
to be.  I read about the messed-up-index bug in an earlier version of KMail.  
Supposedly, it was fixed.

I'd like to know how to get those messages back, if that's possible.

I make hard copies of all the important stuff, every once in a while.  
Unfortunately, some good stuff was lost before I was able to print.

Is their a better mail client?  Should I just rely on pine and leave the 
pretty GUIs alone?

Live and learn.

Thanks again.
