If you refer to them often, and carry a set around with you, you'd
appreciate a smaller version.  about 2/3 of any given months mail is
headers, and none efi related stuff.  2/3, 2/3s it's a waste of disc space
in my mind.

 An entire month archive put into the mail directory for

| well as searching message bodies.  As much as I like the online search
| engine, I find this to be MUCH faster for me, and it allows me to keep
| everything in the single application that I use the most.  Also handy
| for reading the archives while on an airplane...

| There are a couple of edits that are usually required with each archive,

| beginning of a line.  This is easy to spot and fix once you realize what
| is happening.

Ya, fine, if your using things the same as you are, and understand what you
just said.  HOWEVER not all of us are that talented.
