Clarence, Guenter Bietzig and others.....
You guys are truly awesome, amazing, astounding.....
I edited my ARACHNE.CFG to show the total
MailPath as C:\arachne\mail\
Presto ... *** ... all folders, sentmail, etc all
now have the Fast-Delete capability.
You have just saved me a thousand hours of my time.
I have delayed and delayed clearing off the 4,000
messages from the hard drive, simply because I
don't the thousand hours to display each, one-by-one
to reach the Trash button.
Now, in less than 20 minutes, I have been able to
select what to keep, and what to Fast-Del.
Great stuff guys. I want Michael to triple the
salary he pays you for consulting.
