Welcome to my pain.

That was our first course of action.  But when combing trough our
archives, we descovered that the last *2* months of backups overflowed.
Most everything on the server was backed up except---you guessed
it---email.  So we're stuck. :-(

That reminds me.  We also lost the flags somehow.  I'm not sure how this
happened---my colleague was in charge of the cp process.  Is there any
way to recover that information from the individual files as well?
