See WMOGAG
<http://docs.opengroupware.org/Members/whitemice/wmogag/file_view>

For SQUAT, which is a full-text index of messages to enabled faster
searching, see page 122 

For delayed expunge, which keeps messages in the store even after the
user expunges them, see page 124

Either of these can cause the mailstore to seem to grow unnaturally.

And please keep messages on the list;  reply to the list, not to the
sender.
