Hello The Bat! users and developers,

what is the main reason for storing the messages in one big file per
folder? I'm subscribed to quite a few mailing lists, and sometimes I
get two hundred messages a day. Now it isn't uncommon that one day
after defragmenting my volume, my bigger messagebases (with >4000
emails) are shattered to >7-800 fragments.

Wouldn't it be nicer if TB used one file per message? NTFS and also
ReiserFS on Linux can store small files pretty efficiently!
(Of course FAT16 or FAT32 cannot).
So maybe the forthcoming Linux port should use the 1 f/msg method.


Just my 2 forints: SyP
