It seems like a good idea. It seems like all that would be involved is some kind of database query. Maybe we could write our own script to do something like this. We, as in someone other than me, because I don't know SQL. Or someone else can talk to that FFWA guy. If another admin wants to do it, I'm in favor. It would get people to empty their PM boxes, which would save server space. Backing up PMs is tedious right now, I would agree. I have had to do so myself.
