There seems to be some failure to comunicate (I believe the Prodigy said 
that)... whatever, quotas on the universities will not keep you from 
recieving mail... or download anything of the net.  It just defines the space 
available to the user. The temporary space available lets you pull way more, 
and get a delete warning from either an automated system or an admin (at my 
university, wasn't it 10 days or so before forced deletion on random objects 
occured?... dunno).
Imagine an master or phD degree getting lost because someone set up an 
university server with some weird download quota.
This could hardly be _A_ reason for makin' this blog... the amount of mail or 
numbers should not be an issue. If it is so... how about them digest mails?
