Almost all the mail I receive via TB is personal; it all comes to a
single account. Work messages come via Lotus Notes.

Yes, I know. I've tried doing that with other types of data; it's a
real pain in the neck. Even the way I do it is easier than that!

Once? 8-) Yes, another problem is that, as far as I can tell, there is
nothing like Ctrl-Click or Shift-Click; it's always one at a time.

In that case, I'll definitely submit a request.

Part of my problem is that my new ISP only allows POP3; no pine or
elm. It's one of the things I gave up for a permanent 10 Mbps
connection directly into the Internet backbone; I think it's worth it!

Yes, that would definitely help....
