But I think the idea of having emails stored as separate files has a major
downside, too. If you've got, let's say, 10,000 emails being stored as
separate files, it just seems like a major headache to keep track of these,
or to backup and/or restore, vs having them stored in one composite file.

Assuming they're stored in a structure similar to how most email clients
present them - i. e. in folders (directories) - I don't really see much
of a problem. You'd have to change the default sort order to be by date
rather than name (I do that in a lot of my folders anyway), but I don't
see that as a major difficulty.

It's academic anyway - AFAIK, no Windows email client gives the option.

Today you wonder if the media has become the opposition - it's become the
political classes against 24-hour media.
