Here's a funny. On Wednesday morning, my hard drive filled up (don't ask). This meant that a substantial amount of mail was left waiting on post.demon, and let me say at the start I've no reason to believe that any was lost whether downloaded or not - thanks, Graham, for a far more robust product than stock Demon KA9Q ! However, one of the mails which was downloaded successfully was written to disk with the RFC821 envelope address (in the "From " line) belonging to one of the mails which was deferred, and which I conjecture had been in the process of being downloaded in parallel from the other punt. It's obviously not a serious bug, but I thought it worth mentioning in case anyone else feels it worth tidying up some time. Nick
