That's a good idea. I had no idea that was available already. You are saying that once retrieved, the message window will give me an option to either complete the download - or delete it on the next connection? I will certainly give that a try. Now as to the actual size of my messages. I want to figure out how large a "standard" message actually is. The only way I can think of to do this is to wait a day for my normally longest email, a daily price quote from , and use MailSiphonII to go and see how big that is before downloading it. Unless someone has a good, educated guess on how to set this up? I find that some messages are long enough on a 56K line to take almost a minute to download. Some even longer. This is, fortunately, the exception but I am ready to set up the road blocks... Guesses as to a reasonable size? (I will have to fine tune it but a starting point would help) Dave ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
