Dear Gareth et al.
Can't you save the messages, THEN remove and re-add 1571, THEN re-add the messages, either in the SAVED folder or as new messages? As they're on a hard drive and therefore in a folder somewhere, surely it should be possible to copy the folder, restart my system then replace the restarted empty folder with the copied full folder?
Alternatively, as they're my messages anyway, couldn't you just let me download them as soundfiles?
Yours puzzledly
Chris.
