I, for one, have to pay for the time. This is incorrect. Many e-mail programs (including Outlook Express, the free program that I use) will allow you to filter e-mail messages _before_ they are downloaded, based only on the headers. Messages that you wish to discard are deleted from the server without being download to your machine. As a result, your download time is not materially increased. -- Anthony
