I've used Stacker for some time now for non-critical stuff, and had very 
few problems (very few = a similar level of problems to those on a non-
Stacked drive). Maybe my time will come, but there isn't too much to lose 
if it does. All my news/mail is stored compressed in this way. Any 
development work I do, however, is on uncompressed drives.

Most mailreaders allow this, I think. I reply to different mailboxes with 
different .sigs, different From: lines, etc.
