I like this idea. I get so much crap ( read M$ attachments )
internally, that it really bloats my mail box. I don't want to delete
it because I may need to reference it at some point. To make matters
worse, I often get N different revisions of the same document. With no
easy way to delete the old versions, they just accumulate:

	du -sk Mail
	541022  Mail

Thats 4 1/2 years of email. I guess its time to do some house
cleaning!

I try to get people to just save stuff in a central location and send
mail as to where to find it. Samba works well for this, but M$ lusers
mentality is "Oh, I'll just send this 10mb power point presentation to
"all", I wouldn't want anyone to miss it".

Arrrrggg.
