Hello all,
 Having just taken over looking after incoming info-vax stuff again
I am using MAIL a lot more than I was (what a surprise!). It is doing nasties
to me. Is it me, the system parameters or MAIL?

For each message I :-

often        EXTRACT/APPEND it to the archive file
sometimes    PRINT it
Always       DELETE it

If I handle >15 messages before EXITing any messages I said PRINT to are
not printed. When a 'log-jam' of messages bursts through (89 to-day) having
to get out of MAIL every 15-20 messages gets tedious.

Suggestions please - if it looks like MAIL we will SPR it.

Many thanks
