Seen on both trunk and branch build from today

this bug also makes it impossible to compact offline news msg stores, since that mechanism uses offline msg body copying. I'm still investigating - we're not getting to the code that reads the msg body from the offline store.

Navin, can you see if this patch fixes the compact folder problem? thanks. It seems to fix this problem, and normal online copy still works

Adding Scott to cc list for potential nsBranch consideration.

From mscott: "I took a pretty good look at the code and I think this is a safe change. r/sr=mscott"

I am testing it right now.

Ok, so the compact offline news works !

I think we should get this on the trunk but I think it's ok if it doesn't make it on the branch.

fix checked in on trunk.
