Microsoft has been rather close-mouthed about what this KB941090
fix actually does, and whether it can be used more than once.
I get the impression that it doesn't really address the basic cause
for 'ghost' or 'stuck' messages, so there is nothing to prevent the
same problem from happening again.
In the long run, users should be migrating to the more robust
and better supported Windows Live Mail.
