hi,
i think with you waste more space with not fully used clusters and stuff. e.g. i have: $ du -sh Maildir ; du -sh --apparent-size Maildir
I tried this... Solaris du doesn't appear to have --apparent-size..
I see your point, but my users have an unfortunate tendency to keep e-mails with attachments (no matter how big a stick I wield), so there would be a definite saving there.
Since several of my users have over 1GB of mail ('top' user is now around 1.6GB), I think there is a potential to save considerable space.
Besides... when was the last time you saw an e-mail below 512bytes? There is _some_ saving to be made, if not a lot. But a little saving over a few million e-mails? Well, it all ads up.
