No, that's the whole point!  No one over here on this side of the Atlantic
saw any of the booklist at all because the individual messages were too
large.

It's Peter's echo, but I vote for getting useful stuff in here and I don't
care about the size.  Neither I nor the vast majority of Zone 1 sysops pay
any more or less to move mail because of its size.  After all, I carry huge
and useless things such as the WINDOWS echo!

I lost my file feeds in the local reorganization about a month ago, when I
switched from 1:323/150 to 1:170/400 for echomail.  I am in the process of
restoring my file feeds, but it will be a few more weeks.
