"erf" is a sound (dont ask)

as far as using a webserver for email it 'feels' faster to me...
considering most of it is text which POTS modems compress rather well
(max speed of the serial port anyway...) the page loads fast... the
messages (including spam) and email attachments i dont want to view
dont have to be downloaded and the email itself is stored on their
harddrive, not mine, so i can access it anywhere...

considering im moderator on 3 of the way too many MLs im on it helps
to be able to 'access anywhere' and 'skip over'.... gmail also
automatically saves drafts of email (again to their harddrive.. so if
the power goes out i just continue from the last save point)..
gmail can also spell check and filter out or add html... but thats
just icing on the cake...

or better said; "to each their own i guess...."
