Hi,

I am thinking about subscribing to Prodigy.  (Kind of a scary idea huh?
Well it is OK I have my reason and it is NOT that Prodigy looks like
a great BBS!)  At any rate, I did a "test drive" of Prodigy using a
friends account.  I was disappointed in the software, particularly
for E-MAIL which is a special interest of mine.  The 30 message a month
limit does not bother me given what I need it for, but I am
used to preparing my e-mail offline and then logging on and doing
a quick upload using Mirror (a Crosstalk clone).  This ablity doesn't
seem to be available.  What is worse, there doesn't seem to be a way
to save messages (other than printing them locally).  I can understand
that Sears doesn't want me to tie up their discs with my old messages,
but the software doesn't even seem to allow me to transfer a copy of
the message to my local disc.

Is all of this true?  Are there any work arounds?
