 I've given in.... there's a prog running here atm that
 is deleting *all* my email on my ISP's mailserver. This
 action has had to be taken because there is too much of
 it to handle, the rate got up to 4x 200k emails/minute
 some time yesterday afternoon. :(

 The prediction is that things should not get worse over
 the weekend, with next Monday being the biggie.
