Actually, I wasn't thinking of blaming the system for the "lost" messages. I
was planning to take responsibility and say that I had instructed LISTSERV
to accept and process X messages a day and beyond that - tough!
Another question, Eric: When the freed messages roll out, are they counted
as part of the following day's 50 or are they "bonus" points and the next day
starts with a clean slate of 0? And supposing you don't free the message
one day, does it stay held the next day and so on, indefinitely, until you
think to free it?
Peace (I wish!)
