With Thai ripoff isp rates and having to work in the day and
sometimes at night of course I am not on line all the time.
Secondly when I read my mail and answer mail goes out of the bat but I
run a PC resident SMTP server which may or may not send things out
directly depending on what isp I am on.
I normally am on line 6 am timezone +7 and several times in the
evening/night.. However it means that when in Europe the messages fly,
I am likely sleeping...

cannot with the way Thai isp's work, one of my logons sabotages my
SMTP in the USA...
