Hmm... I recall being afraid of that. I hoped that somehow upas/fs
would only keep the header/structure info, without all the bodies --
but then again, it has to extract the mime (sub)structuring.
Thanks for pointing it out.
(for a whole cd the mailbox files will be in the order of 400-600 Mb,
but off course I could always scan it bit by bit -- the extreme being
one mh file (one message) at a time... :-)
Sorry for using up the bandwidth,
Axel -- who is now sorry for not buying lots of memory when it was cheap.
