It works! But as you suggested I made two functions to make it easier, I
enclose them below in case others could benefit. One function opens the
mbox file in an edit buffer, the other runs the reindexing, both need to
be run in the context of the message.

I would love to have just one function that carries out both tasks,
opening the file in a temporary buffer, and after you finish with C-c
C-c, it automatically does the reindexing for you. Unfortunately it's
above my current Elisp skills to write this.

Thanks for your help!
Cheers,
Morten
