[Imap-uw] mixcvt giving me an incinsistency message size error

[nlin]

What's the best course of action in this case?  I've already lost the 
original mailbox so I cannot reconvert from the original.  Should I just 
leave the mailbox along or would converting it using mixcvt (I would like 
the .mix files split nicely instead of one huge 600MB file) make that 
message unreadable?

thanks
nancy
