Traditional reasons. This system was installed over ten years ago and was changed over time. We first started with courier (I think?) or uw-imap (I have no idea - mists of time and all that) I just asked a colleague who still had the old docs I wrote ages ago. But those were discarded when he changed offices. -- Ralf Hildebrandt Geschäftsbereich IT | Abteilung Netzwerk Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin Campus Benjamin Franklin Hindenburgdamm 30 | D-12203 Berlin Tel. +49 30 450 570 155 | Fax: +49 30 450 570 962 [email protected] | http://www.charite.de
