  • 2000 emails a day

    From August Abolins@1:229/390 to Sean Dennis on Friday, August 20, 2004 00:12:00
    Hi Sean (of 1:18/200),
    On <Thu, 19 Aug 04, 17:10 o'clock>, in a message to Joe Schweier you wrote:

    Check your email. I get 2000 emails a day. I'm also moving. Takes
    me a while to get to it! ;)

    Do I see that correctly... "2000 emails a day" ??? I'd be likely to unplug the
    pc and throw it out the window if ever I kept getting that many!

    It's called "I've never found a mailing list I can't refuse". :P

    Honestly, all of the mailing lists go into folders automatically, but I do have
    to sort through spam, et al, when I get in to PMMail.

    Later,

    ewwwww... that spam filtering should be being done before the messages are filed...
