Microsoft went to this because people didn't compact space as they should
have. You either let things go too long (in which case you should get the
message) or you have enourmous space requirements (do you keep ALL of your
emails?). The prudent thing to do is to compact periodically, manually
before the message screams at you to do something you should have already
done.
