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

  Okay, I need to limit them in the bot area as the wall and such takes
  too long to load. 

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

  GOod enough. ;)

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

  I've never used that feature anyway. :)
