Agree.

Well, as longer as I have space in my hard disk, all messages are
getting stored... ocationally old folders are getting zipped... untill
I buy more disk space.  But of course I have a POP3 client and
mailbox, threaded, and filters/rules organizing each list I belong to.
Then my delete button is realy my minds "ignore thread" untill I have
time to read or decide for "mark thread as read" = "ignore".  Well, I
always hope that all those stored message will help when I have to
search something, but with unzipping and stuff it is usually easier to
open a browser at eGroups and use their search engine.
