Can .pmailrc be set so that incoming mails go to a hard drive directory, 
for instance the same one that stores eznet.conf?  Can you write a script 
so that if that directory does not exist, eznet.conf goes to floppy disk, 
along with incoming mails?  That would also let people save the mails for 
reading later, from DOS.
