The reason I mentioned GoBack is because it periodically makes copies of any 
'changed' system files during the 'idle' time according to it's documentation. 
The big question is if the 'database' file Greg mentions, gets it's archive 
flag set whenever it is changed, since I refuse to run an MS mailer here I 
can't verify if this happens.
If the archive bit gets set when email is added/changed/deleted then there is 
the possibility that GoBack would have a recent copy of the file hidden on the 
drive, if it doesn't get set then Oh Well, that's what you get for using M$.
