I don't think it's my job to make up for your addiction to email
by deleting it on your behalf, which is the crux of the problem.
One day I hope to have the technology that if someone has more 
than 5 meg of mail waiting for them and hasn't called for 2 weeks, 
will automatically delete all their mail, deselect them from all 
the echos and that's the end of that (they will have to manually 
areafix themselves back in to all the echos).  But that isn't
what you want anyway, what you want is a cure to email
addiction.

It's quite interesting you know, we had visitors today, and they
were too boring to even talk to, yet I can spend hours talking
to chumps like you guys.  I am slowly managing to get over my
addiction by just getting a message list and page-down until I
see something highlighted.  Works reasonably well.  Until
recently I felt obligated to read LOCUSER, but even that has
fallen by the wayside.  I now take more of the view that if
the message isn't personally to ME, it can't be that important!
BFN.  Paul.
