I got the same message about attachments in my inbox, but I recently
had almost 300 messages in my inbox with Juno (somebody on a mail
list I subscribe to with my Juno address had a malfunction in their
email program and they sent a avalance of old messages to the list
server) and I have never experienced any problems with their service
and the v1.49 software for Win3.xx. If I could remember my password I
would go to their webmail access page and delete the stuff that way,
but I have forgotten it and it is encrypted in the .ini file. Their
"tech support" will send you your password, but they want $10 for the
privilege. It's a whole lot cheaper just to start another account and
let the other one fill up with the junk you don't want.

If you tell the truth, you never have to remember what you said.
