Please help me understand. Perhaps 1000 mail messages per year, each containing about 6 KBytes, is a significant extra load for Mr. Resnick's local network and machine. Since 6 MByte in a year is equivalent to at most about 150 HTTP pages in a year, Mr. Resnick's network and machine must not be used for "web surfing." Is that true? Vernon Schryver [EMAIL PROTECTED]
