A long long time ago, when I was still on Win 3.1, I used a mail program / 
news reader that stored everything in one file.

One day I got a bad sector (or some other error), and the file became 
corrupted, and I lost everything.

After that I decided to never rely on databases that put everything in one 
file.

I also switched to mail clients that use maildir structure rather than mbox. I 
had colleagues using Outlook with similar "everything in one file" madness, 
who also had problems when something goes wrong.

So not a fan of SQLite :-)

Cheers, Ian
