sounds a great theory paul, but what happened to .th0? exactly the same

thing happened this thursday, and i was watching this time. nothing

funny happened, just the receipt of .we1, then .th2. next day .th3

arrived as before. unfortunately the bink log gets overwritten each day,

but i will save it in future. i see no reason that, after 12 months with

no changes, bink would suddenly start to refuse mail. the system here is

being rebult from end to end to integrate the new 2.1 gig 7200rpm drive,

but the only thing that has happened to the point is to copy it to

another partition, and then back to it's own, it is even on the same

physical drive.
