Blake,
Have you considered that those messages that are archived may well not
include
the garbage stuff (cats, Zappa, etc.) that just take up space? I had been
saving
all deleted messages in a special trash folder over a period of almost three
years
and quit when it exceeded 50,000 postings. I'm guessing that mjb has a filter
of
some sort on what gets archived.
