Thanks to all- Eric, Nitai, Ken, Glenn, Bear, Elton, Mark and probably
others :)
I think It's sinking in, finally.
I'm going to mull it over a bit while I switch gears and try moving a
list or two over from letterrip and see how that goes.
I have to admit, I haven't had nearly the time I would have liked to
muck about with post.office before trying to move all our lists over,
but the docs are good, the people here on the list are great, and the
program itself, although different then what I'm used to, is starting
to grow on me :)
I'm sure i'll have some more questions later on this morning!
Jim
