I am not a fan of things which I tell not to happen do so anyway. Bah!

I don't use Foxtrot and only have heard from other users that it is quite effective for searching emails. As such, it would make sense that it would be up and running all the time if it is to quickly have a database of emails that it has cataloged, much like Apple's Spotlight is always "on".
