In my case, I don't think I can attribute the truncation of the
MessPro 'NewsRCfile' to that cause.
I think it got truncated by the Fatal Crash of the computer which just
happened to occur as MessPro/NetFetch/News was automatically
downloading/saving something during my attempt to save an OvPro file.
It was the saving of the OvPro file, I think, that caused the crash.
The OvPro file never got saved. The MessPro file got truncated. This
has happened twice when saving an OvPro file (though to the detriment
of a MessPro file only once).
