Eligibility to apply is limited to active and retired members of the US military and their spouses and their sons and daughters and perhaps some others currently or formerly associated with the military. My son and I are insured with USAA. I used to carry my auto insurance with GEICO. USAA offered me better rates.

If you have 'Realtime smooth scrolling ("Netscape") ' turned on. Use Shift+Arrow to move the 'mouse cursor'. We can also 'tab' to any link or button using our TAB key. - -- Glenn http://arachne.cz/ http://www.delorie.com/listserv/mime/ http://www.cisnet.com/glennmcc/ http://www.cisnet.com/glennmcc/aqc/ ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 19 Jun 2003 13:36:09 -0400 From: Roger Turk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: Up pops: From Yesterday?

I was thinking in a sigle key press to delete the message. In Pegasus Mail for DOS, I just press <delete> while reading a message, and the following message appears. I think that it would be very convenient to have this facility in InSight. El 19 Jun 03 a las 13:15, Glenn McCorkle escribi�: >On Thu, 19 Jun 2003 12:28:42 -0500, Samuel W.

I understand and share the frustrations some of us are having with the time it's taking for the GPL release. I'm itching to get my paws on the Arachne sources (as Glenn well knows), but I still think Mr. McC is doing the right thing by waiting--like it or not, folks, Arachne still belongs to Michael, and it wouldn't be right to release it until he says so, tempting though it might be to jump the gun.
