Getting drunk in a bar near Microsoft's home office does not qualify as
"corresponding with senior MS programmers".

You're nothing but a troll.

Sorry if you've already suggested this and I missed it, but: What if she
created a new identity, and imported all her messages from the other
identity? Would that bring the problems along with it, assuming it's an
issue with the original message files?

Well their office is 12 000 to 18 000 km away. Guess I don't drink there.

There is no point calling me a troll. I've been posting here for 9 years. Noone here will argue with me unless they are certain they are right. And that should tell you something. As should the fact you can't find any examples. Perhaps you should check the central feature of your CPU. V86 mode. Study that.

Sorry, David, but if you communicated regularly with senior MS programmers,
you would've heard of people like Charles Simonyi, chief architect at MS
Research. Why do you make up these stories? Does it make you feel good?

That's another possibility (but if she imports already-corrupted DBX files,
problems may persist).
