RE: [Pythoncard-users] Message Watcher fix - repost

Argh, it is going to be one of those days. Laggy email and accidentally
hitting send before finishing a message....

Ignore the original code, it was bad. This is checked into cvs.

        if used or (not self.hideUnused.GetValue()):
            if self.msgHistory.GetLastPosition() > 29000:
                self.msgHistory.Freeze()
                # delete many lines at once to reduce overhead
                text = self.msgHistory.GetValue()
                self.msgHistory.SetValue(text[text.index('\n', 3000) + 1:])
                self.msgHistory.AppendText(eventText)
                self.msgHistory.Thaw()
            else:
                self.msgHistory.AppendText(eventText)
