Hello Ian,

This is what you said on Fri, 26 Jun 2009 21:56:55 +1000 your time:

Okay, I follow your logic, but then how long does a message stay "current"
before it is flagged for archiving? And do you manually or automatically
archive? Or is it archiving rarely done but often thought about ;-)

> Now this is not because I used Outlook or Outlook Express. I have

Yeah, sorry about that. It does sort of read like I was suggesting that only
Outlook and OE users would stoop to such a practise.

Good explanation.

I actually loathe and detest the My Documents folder, but then that's not
the point as I completely see where you are coming from :))

Yeah, true enough. Whatever works for you is about right.

Indeed, and sadly I'm a bit of an 'organis-a-holic' so the depths/levels to
my related folders often become quite unwieldily....I do have to rein in and
simplify. My wife says it's a curse...on her! lol
