	I am having a problem with NeXTMail. My users' directories are
NFS mounted onto a Personal Iris but the /usr/spool/mail is local.
When one of my users issues a `Undelete' command from inside of
NeXTMail, my PI disk fills up AND the load on the PI machine continues to
grow until there is nothing left to do but pull the plug. In trying to
determine what the problem is it seems necessary to determine what
NeXTMail is up to during this `Undelete' operation. Could anyone in
the know please tell me. I assumed that it would simply make a copy of
mbox sans any deleted messages but that simply does not seem to be the
case. 

	I can provide more info to any who want but understanding the
problem isn't necessary in order to explain what NeXTMail is
*supposed* to do with this command.
