Or maybe it means more than one thing. Compu$erve has two plans for billing. One is a pay for the time you are on line reading mail. The other is a pay per message received plan. If you are on the pay per message plan, you have the option of returning a message unread to avoid paying for it. That generates the postage due message. -- Ken Jongsma jongsma@benzie.si.com Smiths Industries ken@wybbs.mi.org Grand Rapids, Michigan 73115.1041@compuserve.com
