this is one of the reasons why my system processed mail only once an
hour... tossing mail and files and updating all the necessary data files
and web pages takes time... as i've noted in the past in other echos and
discussions, this takes time and my system would never stopp tossing and
processing if it looped back to the top every time it finished a run and
detected new mail or files in the inbound directories and fileboxes...
