Folks, take this to private emails. It's got nothing to do with JAWS or the
list. Thanks.

I can definitely relate, and I think I've got you beat. I have a folder
which contains over 60 thousand messages and it's about 554 megs.

Well, thank God I'm not the only e-mail pack rat out there. I keep
rationalizing this by saying that I may find some useful info in there
somewhere, and I have had some luck with searching for things that I really
needed. I've got stuff that goes back years and years, and it is fun, on
occasion, to pore through it, pick a time frame and see what people were
writing about back then.
