He must have gone long word then, because at one point I had 70,000+ a
few years back (before I started archiving them off every once in a
while). Marck will remember that discussion. And that was with the
*old* messagebase structure. It was slow go opening most of my folders
back then. Nowadays, it's pretty snappy.
