        When your MAIL files get huge, and you are running out of your
disk quota, try using the COMPRESS command.
 
        An interesting bug-a-boo, COMPRESS uses a temp file, which it makes
from the file being compressed.  COMPRESS also keeps the old file around
(just in case).  As a result, you gotta have disk space to make disk space.
