Thanks, that's a good comprehensive answer. I've already been in the message store and it's not there. The notes I deleted only exist as a "ghost" in the lexicon, I just wanted to know whether there was any way of reading the lexicon files. Now I know - no! Thank you 🙂 I've accepted they're gone, it's not too much of a disaster, I can remember a lot of them, it's just the not knowing...
