My view on this ... such message-bases came into existence in the days of limited disc-space to save space.
 
Those days are gone and while *.msg generates overhead ... who cares ... ?
I never understood why anyone want a storage system which could collapse and make'm lose the entire message base instead of just 1 or 2 messages...
 
To me it's a case of measuring penises.
