Compuserve collected 78 messages in non-digest mode for us, one batch of 40 at
size 1495 and a second batch of 38 at size 1470. We have recently moved to
version 3.0.1 of WINCIM from version 1.4 which takes twice as long to retrieve
messages. We used to receive at an average of 10 messages per minute but this
has now gone down to 5 messages per minute. Those 78 messages took 16 minutes to
receive. Compuserve are on to a good revenue generator with this new version of
WINCIM.

Ken after Duane... after Jeff.... on a bad day:

>>I am glad to find that I must have a 'fast internet connection' because
>>I received at least 10 of these friendly messages :-)

>Hah !!...  MY Internet connection's faster than YOUR Internet
>connection:  I got about 40 !!  (smug alert, and gratuitous
>flaunting of bandwidth warning)...  But no never mind, since
>bulk delete can do a 100 in only marginally more time than
>doing one manually.....

And in the DIGEST mode there were a total of 78 of these messages!!!

Oh, well! Happens to the best of us sometimes. I second (third?) the
motion that Jeff's doing a great job.
