 And to carry that one step further -- something I recently asked about
 and was told here (or in Muffin) is that you can set the netmail area
 to assume crash for privledge sysop or whatever you are, but not crash
 for normal users.  Their netmail goes routed, yours goes crash (unless
 you change it in the edit mode).

 The line that I now have in my max.ctl file is:
       Message Edit Assume Crash         favored

 (My normal logon has me set to level favored -- and I reserve sysop for
 those times when I know that I really want to change things.  Helps
 keep me out of trouble ).
