Hello Phil - 

PM> DELAYED THANK YOU I asked about this quite a few months
PM> back so apologies for the delayed response, but an illness
PM> in the family kept me out of it all that time. 

Understandable, and I hope everything worked out for the best
for whomever was ill. 

PM> So thank you Charles for taking the trouble to respond in
PM> such great detail. It's exactly what I was after. Yes the
PM> Angora type servers were the type I was looking for, as I
PM> used to get zipped files that way a long time ago. I
PM> followed up on your information and discovered that they're
PM> still out there, although probably not as many of them as
PM> there used to be. And the "WWW By E-mail" you mentioned is
PM> still available as well -- great document, that. I was
PM> looking for some small DOS programs [tiny by today's
PM> standards] for the volunteer work I do, so size was not in
PM> any way a problem. At any rate, the whole process now seems
PM> to have been simplified, if I'm remembering correctly how
PM> it was done way back. 

I used to have fun with the process. It was like opening
presents at Christmas with servers delivering 'gifts' to my
email at irregular intervals. :-) 

PM> Thanks again. Very much appreciated. 

You're more than welcome.
