PE> Guys, there are some changes happening in echomail.  I don't know

There is no problem with Australian internal echos.  International feeds to
ALL echos are in jeapordy.

PE> P.S. If someone wants to get really keen with their internet

JG> How is this done? Approximately how much mail is there each day?   

I'm not sure.  Either the guy in zone 1 makes a common archive available
for ftp each day, or sends it to each person.  I would estimate 2 meg/day.
If you're interested, I'll get the specifics.  BFN.  Paul.
