Also, when I first opened Fox Trot, I was able to see the Indexed Files tab
for the Mail index. I went to it and there were 100 files under Resources
Hog so I blacklisted them. After going out of Manage Indexes and back in,
for the Mail index there are only two tabs - Configuration and Sharing.
This has happened before - for the predefined index some of the tabs just
don't appear. Why the Indexed Files tab showed up at first and not now I
don't understand.
