====== [MP] Message Packer  (Hudson and JAM Only) ======

Packs the message base.  This means that the deleted messages are
effectively removed from the message base.

The following are valid options for PBUTIL MP:
  (-)
  -D .......................... Removes old messages. Check the section of
                                the manual about the message areas for more
                                information.
  -F .......................... Forces the pack to be executed, even if
                                there are no deleted messages (Hudson Only)
  -H .......................... Instructs the message packer to pack the
                                Hudson areas only.
  -J .......................... Instructs the message packer to pack the
                                JAM areas only.
  -K .......................... Deletes the .BAK files created when packing
                                the message base. (Hudson Only!)
  -R .......................... Instructs the message packer to renumber
                                the message base.  Renumbering the message
                                base is done automatically when the highest
                                message number exceeds 25000.  Lastread-
                                pointers in the userfile will be adjusted
                                when renumbering.

Do NOT pack the message base when a user is online!!
