The msg* files are needed if you want to be able to view archived
messages.

An approach is to break up your archive into period-based archives.
For example, break up the archive by month.

You can take a look at mharc, <http://www.mhonarc.org/mharc/>.
It is Unix-oriented, but it should be usable under Win32, but you
may need to install cygwin, <http://www.cygwin.com/>.
