For the past four days or so it has been taking about 60 seconds to send 
mail using pine or mutt.  Someone made some comment in the 'bboard' that I 
could not follow, about smtp and spam causing the problem.  'mail' sends 
immediately - can I access my inbox with it somehow?  I can use it to 
send mail, but typing 'mail' tells me keesan has no mail.
Is there some 
feature in mutt or pine that can be turned off to fix the problem?

I have not figured out how to use bboard.

I cannot receive list mail at my other shell account (it is too slow for 
ibiblio) and would hate to use webmail.

For now I am replying to a minimum number of postings, and going off to my 
other account to read emails for 60 sec each time I post something (or 
reading a book).

While I am here, could someone explain how listening to a wireless 
broadcast of music over the internet uses more resources than listening to 
a wireless broadcast of FM music?
