I never press `E'.  I use total-expire on "low interest mailing
lists", and never delete private mail.  Why should I?  After 10+ years
I have ~300Mb in my mail archive, which I believe is around $20 worth
of disc space.  I don't think $20 is a high price for the ability to
track my online correspondance back 10 years.

I do press `e' occationally, to remove big attachments.
