I'm a packrat, too.    But I move the old packets to a different
directory, about every month or so, so as to clear the working decks. 
And I rename the QWK packets as soon as I have them downloaded, with a
renaming utility that puts a date as part of the filename, to avoid
overwriting a packet I'm not done with yet.  I also got in the habit of
saving the old reply packets (back when I was sending a lot of long
genealogy messages) just in case I needed to resend something.  I rename
them in such a way as to have BW not "see" them, and only name a reply
packet back if I need to get into it, so that I don't have to worry
about sending out duplicate replies.
