I shouldn't have opened my mouth. Yarn seems to have chosen that
packet to cross-link a message, which showed up as any of several
other unrelated messages. The database was shrinking slowly and since
I wanted to recover the lost space I had wanted to shrink it quickly.
So I had to. Rebuild -h didn't work (just changed the cross links to
other messages.) I don't quite understand why your pseudo-newsgroup
would wind up at the end, since they are mail messages and should be
imported FIRST (at least they are on my system.)

That's easy for me since my .cmd file expires before importing any
messages - automatic, so there's not much more than a day or so worth
of read messages.
