Oh!
Thanks very much for the explanation.
Now that you've told me, I understand the meaning of the phrase
"Dispatch Mail on the Server", but I couldn't find it in the
Help file, and it made no sense until you told me what it meant.
It reminds me of the exchange between Alice and Humpty Dumpty in
"Through the Looking-Glass":
------SKIP the following if you're in a hurry.------
"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in a rather a scornful tone,
"it means just what I choose it to mean -- neither more nor less."
"The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean
different things."
"The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master --
that's all."
Alice was too much puzzled to say anything, so after a minute Humpty
Dumpty began again.
"They've a temper, some of them -- particularly verbs, they're the
proudest -- adjectives you can do anything with, but not verbs --
however, I can manage the whole lot! Impenetrability! That's what I
say!"
"Would you tell me, please," said Alice, "what that means?"
"Now you talk like a reasonable child," said Humpty Dumpty, looking
very much pleased. "I meant by "impenetrability' that we've had enough
of that subject, and it would be just as well if you'd mention what
you meant to do next, as I suppose you don't intend to stop here all
the rest of your life."
"That's a great deal to make one word mean," Alice said in a
thoughtful tone.
"When I make a word do a lot of work like that," said Humpty Dumpty,
"I always pay it extra."
"Oh!" said Alice. She was too much puzzled to make any other remark.
------
I hope the writer of the program paid "Dispatch" extra.
Thanks again for your help.
Mike
