It jumps up and down, but I see it with WinMail in 7. xp.basics is even
worse.

Yes. 25 at the moment, with hacked WM in Win 7. WMUTIL "Rebuild Database"
usually
cleans them up for me.

"Ghost messages" are a result of OE not being coded to the proper
Usenet standards. Other newsreaders do not have this problem.

Microsoft is the KEEPER and DEFINER of the standard.

No ghosts - just old farts!

It is a good thing PA Bear plonked me a long time ago so he will not
see my messages.

Well, no, of course not. But you may want to consider switching... <g>

Never saw anything even remotely similar, whatever "ghost" messages means.
XP Pro SP3 OE6 IE8 now; used to be IE6/OE6. Sounds like some sort of
corruption or malware.
