Hi Yuki,

Well, I wouldn't leave my valuables in the middle of the main
thoroughfare. The folder is being expanded and compressed on a
continual basis and *nothing* is perfect in Windoze. One OS glitch and
the folder is toast.

Maybe, but it's not up to RITlabs to cure OS errors. M$ sure aren't
going to. Every report I've seen of folder contents being lost have
revolved around compressing the folder and an OS sneeze of some sort.

LOL :-) I make no judgement calls. Each to their own here, so long as
the Inbox is uncluttered. I have hundreds of folders in a cascade up
to about five deep.
