We use Appeals for tracking both mailing and appeals (and have business rule set up to automatically update the gift amount should a gift be received).  Prior to my involvement with our organization's database, appeals were entered rather sloppily and without structure.  In my opinion, the older appeals (pre-2004) don't have any perceived value and I don't see any reason in retaining them. 

 What are other organization's practices for maintaining/retaining constituent appeals?  Thank you! Karen
