I do indeed. I don't regard email archives as particularly safe places
to store info I want to refer to later, especially with the random
corrupted messages bases I've run into occasionally. I keep my
attachments in separate folders (I wish this were the default setting
for TB) and I save emails with tips and such in separate files where
my OS can deal with finding them (and quite a few of your previous
emails are stored there). With TBUDL, I try to rely on the archives
rather than on my own saved emails.

The bandwidth issue doesn't really affect me since I'm on a DSL link,
but I'm considering those on slower links. It's true that it's not a
lot of bytes and I probably shouldn't even think about it, but what
about all the followup discussion this has caused? <g> For the same
reason I usually try to refrain from being too much of a wiseass on
listservs, but sometimes it just gets away from me...
