Messages in shared folders use soft links.  Creating a hard link
to a soft link brings wildly different results on different
platforms.  On some platforms the soft link is duplicated; on
other platforms the soft link is
hardlinked.

What is the reason to use soft links in the shared folders?


I would think that hardlinks (with an independance of file permissions on
the original file) would provide advantages from a group membership and
maintenance point of view...

The sharable mailbox may be on a different filesystem.


COULD the shared folder softlink be changed to hardlinks? Would it be a BIG
change?

First of all, there needs to be a good reason for a change. "Just for the heck of it" isn't going to cut the mustard.
