Not at all uncommon. OTOH, maybe *I'm* weird. While only a small part of it is important to me, it is easier to keep it all than sort it. And because it IS important, I don't trust it (or anything else) to Windows, but rather OS/2 and a hardware SCSI RAID1, OR a private BSD-server, also with RAID1. So for Windows users, maybe it *is* safer on a *N*X server - even one that is *never* backed up <G> Regards, Bill Hacker ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ courier-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users
