that's very strange.  from the preview frame, highlighting the whole
header part and pasting, i get this:

From:   
To:     
Subject:        Re: [Evolution] +cvs.2001.03.22.09.00 observations. 
Date:   23 Mar 2001 21:09:21 -0600 

and when i highlighted it, the addresses were not visually selected.
are you running on the latest version ( this .10 release )?

no, i must have been unclear.  it needs to be individual meters for each
server, absolutely.  but i just want the gauge to display how many
emails in TOTAL have been/are being downloaded from each server, not
display how much of each individual email has been downloaded.  that
information tells me abosultely nothing about how long it is going to
take.  and as i indicated, when i leave my emails on the server, the
gauge informs me that it is downloading message #468, even though its
the first email it's downloading from the server.

what i was describing previously was a way to have the one gauge ( one
for each server ) display both how many emails are being/have been
downloaded, as well as what percentage of the current email has been
downloaded, all at the same time.

well, yes.  but this was a way i can get it to crash reliably.  i just
wanted someone else to check.  however, dan indicated that the expunging
process has a number of issues with it that they are aware of and can
already reproduce, so i will just be more careful and make sure a
non-expunged email is selected before expunging.
