Because Webmail is centered around a few heavily used tables, 
I thought that giving the dba some idea of the sizes of these 
tables would help in setting up appropriate tablespaces
and storage clauses for Webmail.  

I have included a table of all the tables and indexes created by 
the Webmail package, and their approximate sizes PER ROW of data.
Obviously, you must first come up with some expectations on 
usage and table size first.  

The most important items to pay attention to are WM_MESSAGES,WM_HEADERS,
and WM_HEADERS_BY_MSG_ID_NAME.  I highly recommend a suitable storage 
clause for these to avoid a large amount of fragmentation.  You should
also consider storing the lobs from these tables in seperate tablespaces.

I haven't really had problems with chained rows using pctfree 10%.

  --LOBS (mime_text and body)			    10 Kb
WM_ATTACHMENTS				 TABLE	    default
  --LOBS (this is hard to estimate)		    100 Kb
WM_HEADERS				 TABLE	    100
  -- This table usually grows at about 10 times
  -- the rate of the wm_messages table
