Without sounding bitchy - I am SO happy you got that many. I was beginning
to think I was going crazy as I have been getting this for about two weeks now.

I am trying to write a .procmailrc file to stop them before I download them
as I believe that I will blow my 5 Gig cap if I am not careful. I am not getting
the OR on the .procmailrc file working and I cannot work out why. This is
complicated by the fact that I cannot edit the file and copy it back because
my system insists on putting in CRLFs instead of just LFs.

I have been getting 250MBytes of them a day.

Chrissy.
