so when using command I , message indexing there can be a long pause
dueto the about nets / mail Error 404 holds . is there a function i can run from the events to keep this calculation updated or refreshed .
I'm not sure there is an option for this. From my usage it tends to run this indexing load each time as part of the initialization of the menu command. I
am not aware of a switch to change any of the behavior.
Notes from whatsnew.txt show the following

1.10 Alpha 38
+ New Menu command: MI. This is the Area Index reader. This command cycles
through all message bases and calculates total, new, and personal messages
and then presents them in a scrollable and customizable window to the
user.
1.12 Alpha 35
+ Reduced the time it takes for calculation of area index reader statistics
by an enormous amount, at the expensive of some accuracy. In A33 my test
took 6 seconds to complete a list of 300 areas with around 250,000
messages. In A34 I reduced it to 2.5 seconds. In A35 its now taking
a shocking 1/20th of one second!
