figure out which mail it is (i.e. which index), then telnet to port 110 of your isp and delete it yourself with the following command sequence (this is POP3): %> telnet mail 110 USER username PASS password DELE 35 QUIT you can use RETR 34, RETR 35, RETR 36, etc. before to make sure you are deleting the right message. martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \____ echo mailto: !#^."<*>"|tr "<*> mailto:" [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- the only real advantage to punk music is that nobody can whistle it.
