[MlMt] Files to keep, to start over from scratch (kind of)

Just curious, are you experiencing that from within a smart folder? I 
ask because I had a smartfolder that gathered the contents of several 
mailboxes (ie Spam, trash, junk and so on) and that would crash 
regularly on Command D. I reported that particular thing a year or so 
ago. The situation seemed to get better a few months ago, but I gave up 
on that particular technique, it was so crash-prone.

Good luck!  :-)
