[ale] recovering an ext3 drive

[Geoffrey]

Since I kinda helped get this thread off track, I figured it be nice if 
I try and bring it back.

Was there other 'stuff' on the drive, other then the mail files?  I 
assume so.  Any idea how much other 'stuff' there was and what type of 
'stuff' it was (binary, text, images..)
