+\r
+I like this but I wonder if it has a side effect: I think with the\r
+current code the user can interrupt the upgrade (ctrl-c) and continue\r
+roughly where it left off. This looks like it means the whole upgrade\r
+needs to be done in one go. Will this be a problem on large mail stores\r
+(eg rlb with over 1M messages)?\r
+\r
+I am not sure what could be done during the interrupted upgrade before\r
+so maybe this is not a problem.\r
+\r
+Best wishes\r
