[1] I don't recall it on this list, but I just started awhile ago. I do
recall getting several emails from Juno [I have no record, but January
2001 sounds right] warning me that any emails containing attachments sent
to users using Version 1.49 would henceforth not be received, rather they
would simply sit on the server and fill up your allowable quota of server
space. If the space filled up, then you could not receive messages, and
your correspondants would get a message that your address could not
accept any more email.

Previously, the server was kind enough to delete the attachments and send
the email minus attachment to the 1.49 client.

So, I not only sent out an emailing containing similar information to
your signature line, but I created a new email account to which I changed
people from whom it was critical I get information without possibly
having my box clobbered with attachment junque from spammers and others.

A couple months later, I got a Pentium class computer, and upgraded to
Version 4.x

People with this 1.49 problem need to go to the WebMail part of Juno
periodically and read/clean out the email/attachment garbage.

[2] Good thought. What are the experiences of others?
