Well, the news readers tend to be better at reading shared mailboxes than most IMAP clients. Atleast that's what they tell me, though I haven't been fully impressed with any IMAP client's handling of a large number of shared bboards. In the long run though, I tend to agree with you that it seems somewhat redundant. -Rob -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Rob Siemborski * Andrew Systems Group * Cyert Hall 207 * 412-268-7456 Research Systems Programmer * /usr/contributed Gatekeeper
