   My view on this ... such message-bases came into existence in the days of   
   limited disc-space to save space.   
       
   Those days are gone and while *.msg generates overhead ... who cares ... ?   
   I never understood why anyone want a storage system which could collapse and   
   make'm lose the entire message base instead of just 1 or 2 messages...   
       
   To me it's a case of measuring penises.
