Sorry Dan,
The other day I saw this conversation going on and hesitated to answer
for fear of disseminating misinformation, but I saw that they had already
been challenged to use the IMAIL system's Posthampster function. They
rejected that idea for desire to see all the messages incoming. I tried to
resist honest. I know it is not fancy to do what I suggested, but they kept
asking and I knew it would work as I had done it. The side effect I got was
a mailbox full of malarkey, so I dumped the idea. But I thought if I
answered the question would stop cloning itself in the list. Hope I am
still allowed to post! {:-(
