If you've run out of the yellow pills, I'll send you some of mine. |-)

JG> I think you'll agree that I don't care what Rod thinks.

Yeah, I think you've made that fairly obvious by now, and you'll have to
forgive me for adopting a neutral position WRT this argument.

JG> Talk to Paul.

Nah, he's a loony too.  |-)

BG> Twit "Ron T Lewis"
BG> Twit "Russell Coker"

I'd rather it could be done from within Msged itself though.  Whilst
Netmanager is very good, it's still a separate process, and successful
integration into the various readers available is not a trivial matter.

JG> Same function with the added bonus that you save on disk space if

I pack weekly, and save a fair bit that way.

JG> BTW, I regained roughly 10 meg of disk space by twitting those 
JG> three people mentioned above. 

Are you so short of HD space that you need to do that though?  Maybe it
would be much easier to simply resize your message bases downwards?  |-)

JG> I don't suffer fools gladly.

I know exactly what you mean.  I won't suffer RTL at all any more.

Regards, Bill
