   As a general rule, that is a very good one.

   If however you feel adventurous you may try Johan Billing's crashmaint
program (part of the CrashMail II program suite).

   I run it from time to time, like once a year or so, mostly to make linking
a wee bit faster. It hasn't corrupted anything yet (after ten years) I simply
run it like this:

crashmaint MAINT PACK

   Needless to say you have to use CrashMail II and tell it in the config how
many messages you want to keep:

KEEPNUM 1000

   This for every echo. If no KEEPNUM is defined, crashmaint will not touch
the echo. It will of course *not* renumber any message base, but it will
become much smaller.
