- Running elm 2.3PL11, is it possible to loose incoming mail if you are
- bringing up elm while mail is being delivered?
-
- I ask because I think it just happened. My mail file was big, so it
- took about 30 seconds to start up. During that time, newmail told me I
- had received mail several messages, and I did because my uucp feed had
- just connected, but when I got into elm, there was no new mail at all.
-
- I am running on AT&T 386 Unix SVr3.1.
