This is an odd problem.  I'm using VM 7.19, and for a year had saved
mail to a folder on a Sun machine (uname -a gives SunOS smith 5.9
Generic_122300-09 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Blade-1000).  I returned from
sabbatical, booted up my linux box (Linux piggy.cis.rit.edu
2.6.9-1.667 #1 Tue Nov 2 14:41:25 EST 2004 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux),
and copied the mailfolders over to the Linux box.

I fired up vm, tried to read the folder, and folders that had 155
messages now were showing only 38.  The file is unchanged (compared
size), and I can't find any particular aspect of the missing
messages.  They're still there, just not read.  A sample mailfolder is
at http://piggy.cis.rit.edu/franklin/tmp/coed.  On Linux, I see 38
messages.  On the Sun, 155.

Can anyone help me figure out what's going on, or even where to start
looking?

Thanks,

Scott
