Going from point A to point C requires going through point B, where your mailbox is located. To some people, this is junk mail. Some people, with inquiring minds ask hypothetical questions and then try to find answers to the questions that they pose. Researchers ask the same questions. Exploring the possibilities can be rewarding. Posts here are archived in Canada for the benefit of our world community that is interested in Parkinsonism. Distribution requires that the current information distributed here everyday, must go through your mailbox on the way to the archive. Using our listserv tools, we can access this information using a unique search language, from anywhere on the internet. We currently have 25 countries represented on the Parkinsn list. Some points not only have to search through "The Rocks" to find the "Gold" but pay international long distance charges for that privilege. Most of our "Too Much Information" messages come from AOL subscribers. The following is a repost of ways for them to unload their mailboxes easily. --- begin of Repost --- From time to time AOL subscribers wish to leave the list because their mailbox is overflowing. I received the following message that describes how AOLrs can fetch their mail and upload replies while being able to read and answer the messages at their leisure on their own computer. I hope AOLrs find it useful. --- Forwarded message follows --- Subject: Re: mail overload for AOL Subscribers? : I get messages from AOLers who say that they know of no way to download their : mail so their mailbox runs over. Is there a way for them to read and reply to : mail offline? : Could someone advise me so that I can advise them? Tell them to run a "Flash Session". This is a feature of the AOL software, in which it automatically logs on, downloads any incoming mail, sends any outgoing mail, and then logs off. Instructions for using Flash Sessions are included in the AOL software's online help.
