That's frequently what I do. The pain is that although it's nice to use
(e.g. mutt or Thunderbrid) to thread the message nicely for reading, it
becomes a pain to put in any http links to the online archives
afterwards. I don't suppose anyone has a neat solution for that?

Best,

virt for 161

Hi all. I'm out of town with catch as catch can internet access. I have free time, but no internet. I may find some time online as late as sunday evening. Or not.

If I do not mark the beat as complete by 9 EST, please feel free to take what is there. I will be traveling by that point.
