I was kinda wondering about that. I suppose there's a half-decent chance of
it happening, but not for a while. It would probably fall into the category
of an advanced configuration requiring official memberships, which we don't
have running yet.

I'd like to be able to do that too. Plus an optional timeout maybe, where if
a week has passed with only a few small messages, it would still send you
what's there even if they didn't total 20KB/1000 lines...

...or if you dial in at some random point and there aren't any messages in
your inbox, but you really are dying for something to read, you should be able
to say "gimme whatcha got, even if it's not much."
I dunno how cheap cyber-cafes are here in the U.S., maybe $7 an hour I think
is one figure I saw once. One thing's for sure, though, they're only getting
cheaper and better.
