4 Megabytes?  Four megabytes?

I don't come anywhere near saving all the email that goes thru this 
machine. Some lists are expired and cleaned up daily.  But 4 of my main 
interests make up for it, the corpus here is north of 15Gb, with some of 
it dating back to the middle of 2002.

4 megabytes?  It boggles my mind that you are being abused like that.  And 
putting up with it.
