Felix, it is my understanding that you are wasting your time compacting
your profile if you haven't, first, deleted the rubbish you want to get
rid of.
Looks to me like you need to reread what I wrote. What makes you think I
ever compact without first deleting something?
Re-reading ..."I compact more often than I empty trash" .... and ...
"deleting attached binaries I compact the folder they showed up in

times, wasting your time by compacting *before* deleting!!
Deleting an e-mail really just marks the e-mail for deletion,
Duh.
I don't know how to respond here!
it is not
actually removed from your inbox file until it is marked for deletion
and then the file is compacted. If an e-mail is not first marked for
deletion, after the compaction it will remain (hidden) in your inbox
file.
If it was up to me, delete would always mean delete rather than hide,
regardless of context. Delete that increases disk consumption by even
one bit is not deletion, it's a lie. Compaction would never be a
separate menu item or process.
.....but it's not up to you, yet!! Though the SeaMonkey Council is
always up for more assistance, so, maybe, in the future, it will be up
to you!!
However, I tend to agree, deletion should mean it's history, but, on the
other hand, I have been saved on occasion as mentioned by Paul!! So cal
me 50/50!!
[re: Geckos] I keep 5 of them open spread across 8 virtual desktops
in the same DE 24/7, save for daily restarts and backups of the profile
used for email.
How can you say you have your DE up 24/7 when you then say you re-boot
daily?? Almost by definition, then, the most you have is up for 24 hours!
AU English must be more different from US than I thought, that or plenty
of after dinner cocktails before reading newsgroups. :-p Again I think
you need to reread.
Yes, U.S. of A.'ian English is very different to Australian English,
and, most likely posting here *before* dinner, so what do I need to
re-read??

Your "save for daily restarts" doesn't mean you re-boot your system each
and every day ("up 40 days" = "how long the system has been running"
(from manual), just that you re-start SM each day!!
Restarting above refers to closing one Gecko instance for the purpose of
backing it up without any of its files open, immediately followed by
starting it back up. it's a quick process, as each profile dir's cache
dir is always empty.
O.K., if you just re-boot/re-cycle, I'll give you 23.95/7, maybe, but
not 24/7
And with a name like "Felix Miata", I was taking you as Spanish/Mexican,
i.e. English not your first language, but then one of the other
contributors here-abouts is "Jay Garcia" and I know he is U.S. of A.'ian
(New Orleans), so, maybe, I should not be so quick to "ASSUME"!!
