This is due to a recent update. Now when you compact, a copy of your
dbx files are sent to the Recycle Bin in the event that something
should go wrong and messages, or entire folders are lost when you are
compacting.

So that's what the "Copying {something}" message that's started
appearing when I compact means...
It sure slows down the compacting process but I suppose it's worth the
extra security.

I'd say it's a good trade off. They can be restored in minutes

Still it's all rather moot, isn't it? I mean what with WinMail replacing
OE in Vista, it's kind of like rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic
or something.

True, but since there are still people using everything in-between 9x and
XP, I think XP will still be used by many for quite some time. Who knows.
Vista may hit an iceberg. eg
