<P><FONT SIZE=2>There's a great way to add value to a thread. :)</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>> POP, IMAP and MAPI (Exchange) ARE NOT "client-to-client", PLEASE! </FONT>

<BR><FONT SIZE=2>connected, conversational programs, unlike SMTP, which is largely a</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>batch-oriented bulk drop). It all depends where you're standing.</FONT>
