Hi.

I'm not sure what the approved method of dealing with this is, but I usually
just 

rm ~/Mail/inbox/.mh_sequences

as far as I know, mh, xmh, and the rest will rebuild this index without any 
complaints.

Incidentally, if you use sendbug from the command line, we get a better set 
of data about what kind of system you are reporting from.

hope this helps
mike
