True. I agree. You seem to be worrying an awful lot about this. > > The reason I even thought about doing this is because I started playing > around with custom views.

Use the "Specific header Newsgroups does not exist" to eliminate news messages from custom views. Why are you so worried about this? Are you particularly short of hard disk space? If you empty the cache every week or two you won't gain more than 1 or 2 MB in your database file. Is that really such a big deal? And don't bother to rebuild, since the new cache will just fill up the empty space again - but won't increase the database size further. -- Paul Berkowitz -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
