OK, so running it properly has added those missing 715 messages. I
think we need to run a full index run which should restore any missing
pages, but before we do that, I'd kinda like to gather any ideas on
why this has happened before removing any evidence.

My best guess is simply that the indexer failed for some time and
noone noticed for a few weeks. By the time it was re-run, some
messages that it had missed were outside the timeframe that an
incremental crawl would have picked up (the current, plus last month).
Thoughts?

Stefan; any thoughts on how we might monitor that the indexer has been
running correctly? I assume that should be fairly easy if we have it
drop a timestamp someplace?
