[Cialug] Email

[cialug@cialug.org]

Let's see, that's 39MB on my GMail account, 330MB at work, 295 MB at home, and
22MB on my Yahoo account.  Grand total, 686MB.  That's not much, is it? :-)  Oh
I forgot, that doesn't include the mail messages I still have for root on my
Linux box, and some other messages on Linux, so add another 53MB.  Wow,
approaching 3/4's of a gig!  Guess I should do some clean-up, huh?
