- Well, that's not exactly what it means. Or maybe it means more than one
- thing. Compu$erve has two plans for billing. One is a pay for the time
- you are on line reading mail. The other is a pay per message received
- plan. If you are on the pay per message plan, you have the option of
- returning a message unread to avoid paying for it. That generates the
- postage due message.
