I just accuse my wife of having stinky feet (wink,wink)!The OP is right - generally keeping it in recirculate mildews it up much more quickly. Running fresh air on most cars and turning off the AC to dry out the core ~2-5 minutes before shutting down the car will help keep it from forming on a soggy evaporator core that's just sitting around without airflow.
There are cans of foamy stuff you can spray up the drain hose under the car to clean off the cores - I think I'll have to do it to both cars in the spring. They're both ~2 years old and both have a little funky smell on defrost.
