What bombing run?  If thousands of individuals each independently sent
a reasonably short complaint, that could easily add up to 5 Meg, and I
would *not* classify it as a bombing run.  Anyhow, I suspect that the
original mail used more than 5 Meg of storage.

(BTW, I was one of those who sent a reasonably short complaint.)
