That is great. I didn't know that. This will help.
Also, out of curiosity are the mails archived the same way as well?

I share the same opinion. Trust me. They also expect me to use their
notoriously outdated unmanaged hacked Linux system with outdated Perl 5
and outdated CGI.pm modules with outdated DBI modules. :'( At one
college, it was only this quarter they discovered ssh and scp. :-(
What's sad is that my Sony Picturebook (12"x5" laptop) is more powerful
than the server. But hey, I guess it'll put hair on my chest. :-)
