I have an idea for minizing the total number of class m files sitting in our
reader and I wanted to bounce it off you folks to see what you think.
My idea is to write a Rexx exec which takes as an argument, a userid name.
This exec would transfer all of the files from that userid to my class D
postmaster account. It would than receive those files into a new notebook.
This notebook would contain all of the mail sitting in that person's reader.
The exec would than send the file back to the user along with a separate note
explalining what happened. The user can then receive the notebook and look
through it with the MAILBOOK command.
I do not want to generalize the exec to look at everyone's reader because I
only care about the 10 or 20 people who have a large nummber of reader files.
This is a bit of a drastic idea, but it would work and has the two-fold
advantage of cutting down on the total number of reader files on our system
and it let's people read lots of incoming mail without hitting a memory limit
so quickly since any one notebook would contain only a day's mail instead of
all of the mail for the past week or so.
