You only need to pack them if you delete messages, and currently the
only way to delete messages is via 3rd party utils or via magimail if
you limit the number of messages per base.

I think it's magimaint pack or something like that, I've never actually
done it :P I think Blue White does this or maybe it was vorlon? 

You can just delete the JAM files, but of course you will lose all the
messages. Ages ago, I renamed the JAM files and set the renamed JAM base
as read only so people could still read the old messages, but to post
they'd have to do it in the "new" area.

I have a feeling deleting messages will mess up the message flagging
feature, it's something I've been meaning to look at but haven't yet. I
don't think anyone uses it, so I may just remove the feature all
together.
