Some server technologies support SIS (Single Instance Storage) so that
even if an attachment has been received in multiple mailboxes, all that
in effect happens is a pointer is created in the mailboxes back to the
actual file.
Microsoft has supported this ever since Exchange 4.0, but it becomes
increasingly interesting to manage if you use the Exchange 2000 feature
of having multiple stores...
