How does Murphy know when to strike. Argh, I went almost 15 years without losing a single mail message. Less than two months of using a "modern" mailer and they're all gone. I want my VAX/VMS back. Everyone who sent me mail about needing a reporting channel for the Y2K rollover on New Year's, could you please send me another message. I had not copied the names down before my mailbox disappeared. Thanks. Yes, I was thinking about a backup. I sent this message early this morning, before I lost all my mail.
