It's the "google way". Google's philosophy is roughly this: since disk space is free and unlimited, and Google's search/tagging is so utterly cool, there's no cost to keeping all mail forever. OTOH, there _is_ a cost in deleting an e-mail that you later find out you need. -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwards Yow! I smell like a wet at reducing clinic on Columbus gmail.com Day!
