1) Stupid, stupid Outlook Express.  You click a folder, look at some mail,
maybe even interact with that mail.  Then you press Delete.  It asks, "Are
you sure you want to delete *this folder* [emphasis mine]?  This can't be
undone."  I see this message nearly every day.  Finally, I succumb to the
reflex of clicking without reading.  It deletes not only that folder, and
all the messages in it, irrevocably and unrecoverably, but it deletes all
the subfolders (with messages) without even asking!  Grrrr!  Stupid
software.  Stupid operator.

Mmm, stupid software, methinks...not your fault.

As a partial solution/workaround to the problem, you might wanna check out
GoBack <http://www.goback.com/> from Wildfile.  Runs on Win* and sits right
above the BIOS level between the OS and the harddrive...you can go back to
any (recent) point in time and recover any version of any file (subject to
disk space for the journailing), even if the file has been deleted.  IIRC,
you can even recover from FORMAT C: with it.

Augh! I accidently deleted my inbox for partsref@worldnet.att.net.[1] This should not be more than an annoyance (and mostly just for me), because I save all the submitted part files to my hard drive. BUT, and just in case, here is a list of all DAT (...) (25 years ago, 22-Jan-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
