Hi Tom,

Perhaps...  Take a look at bogotune's -M option for creating message
count formatted files.  The message count format consists of the
unique tokens from the message plus their counts from the wordlist.
It's intended to improve the speed of tuning but can be used to save a
message.  It will (usually) result in a smaller file than the
original message.

Since message count files store message tokens, changes to the parser
will make such files incorrect (to some degree).  Of course, the parser
hasn't changed significantly in several years.

HTH,

David
