Good question, but we are receiving reports of missing messages all too often
to discount a larger problem. I can't replicate this problem, so I am stuck
until it happens again.

Thanks for your questions and posting. I will continue to watch this thread
in the (what seems like) unlikley event someone else has this problem and can
tell us how to fix it.

Technet searches and google searches aren't yielding much.
