The letters I hold on to typically have some info I figure I may
want/need later. I could see holding those locally since searching
them can be much easier/faster than anything online (including Google).
If the OP holds ALL the list mail, then I see that as a waste of space,
and agree with your assessment.
Time for me to look at those tools... heheh.
