Ay, yes, I am sure that the myraid of platforms, os's, programs and other
limiter/unifier/expanders do not always handle each piece of mail the same.
In aol land any message above 20k or so automatically is turned into an
attachment and then there is some total limit in each email. I am sure also
that individual mail programs and isps deal with this factor in different
ways. In looking at the local providers available and their newsgroup
availability, depth and catalog, there has been no comparison. Aol keeps all
messages for a long time and , myself, being a computer simpleton, I find
aol the easiest to use, in most respects, mea culpa.
I am using a mac platform, and there are very few virus that hit macs and
wouldn't cross platforms well . . .?
I generally do not forward strange posts with attachments, cuz, I like to
read 'em for I send'em, so . . . And I have a virex program on.
The virus and all is another divisive and distrustful meme, gather up the
proper tools and trek on. It is gonna take all of us to sustain our republic
and fulfill the future. MHO
Onwards to the utmost of futures.

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance�not soapboxing! These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory', with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credeence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
