That's overkill for my case though. Perhaps... but if you were going to go this route, it might be better to be a little more heuristic about it. That is, count how many messages are added to each folder, and when it comes time to do some pruning, kill the buffer with the fewest appends. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v0.9.8 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE3jfPVgl+vIlSVSNkRAoRkAJ9Pt6Axw46aXWDRKJG1gd2nnlYfEQCeO3Xv en8IF4sUdfIrL0lUHVURvGw= =tU8D -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Rat \ When not in use, Happy Fun Ball should be Minion of Nathan - Nathan says Hi! \ returned to its special container and PGP Key: at a key server near you! \ kept under refrigeration.
