Of course there is a Python script in the members section that folks can 
download and run IF they they are running Thunderbird or any other email 
client that uses Mbox email storage.  And you have to be technically 
savvy enough to know where your mbox file for FFL is stored (not exactly 
rocket science).  And you need Python installed.

In fact I just rewrote that script because of its roundabout way of 
parsing the email headers.  Python has a lot of different libraries and 
I found another one that did better parsing and simplified the script.

The mail problem with using the script (and same for the server PHP 
script) is that sometimes your email host may put an FFL email in the 
junk folder online which can cause the count to vary slightly. This is 
particularly true with Yahoo's own email.

The bigger problem is some folks tendency to knee jerk reply to a post 
when maybe it would help if they count to 10 first.
