I get like 100 plus messages with attachments per day and I pay per
hour.
Missed emails I donot mind, they can send again but getting constant
duplicates due to internet providers who should be breeding chickens,
buffalo's or whatever but NOT touch a computer, is a damned nuisance.
It trebbles my phone bill and local foreigners often suspect they get
compensation from the Thai phone services to disconnect us so the phone
company makes more money..
Anyway, why do I have to download emails if its a small effort to
check if the thing has already been received??
Best regards,
tracer
