(I had some of my mail dissapear inadvertantly into junk and have been looking at spool list before I collect by mail agent). ~~~ On Friday 02 September 2005 03:52, Robert Luberda wrote: On Thu, 25 Aug 2005, Paul Anthony Judd wrote: Hi, f one uses fetchmail to get email to spool, then use mail to list emails only then quit without viewing emails, only those displayed get saved to spool, i.e 54 emailes retrieved by fetchmail, used mail to check list, only 10 displayed and so only 10 saved to spool.
