    I did a search at http://groups.google.com on inbox.msf Arabic and came up with 6 hits. One solution: you need to delete the inbox.msf file. DO THIS WITH NETSCAPE CLOSED. (Just the inbox.msf, NOT the inbox file):
    However the problem may come back:

    Yep, deleting the .msf files and then restarting Netscape did seem to rebuild the base file and now the Inbox is readable and set to Western. I took a leap and did this based on past experience working with index files. And I thank all that have responded.

    But your message says that the problem will come back. I didnt see that. I opened and closed messenger a couple times with no problems.

    Now I need to find out why some messages in the base file refuse to be deleted.

    Again Thanks.
