by the dear lords!  how many categories do you have, and which options
do you use?  i can run as many messages as i ever want thru ifile, and
with two categories, it's never more than half a meg.  also, ifile's
database grows with the number of categories, and of course if you
switch off the dropping of infrequently occuring words.  the number of
messages doesn't count.
