The last thing I'll say about this is that there are many free email
programs available for downloading (on <nonags.com> and <tucows.com> for
instance), and those programs that don't offer the text option can
simply be abandoned.  Is the lessened bandwith congestion enough to
matter?  I don't know, but the efficiencies gained in server space
utilization might be worth the switch.

Same here with Ntscp.6...I abandoned it after first use.
