This also has the effect of filtering those big SPAM letters. The SBM filter is default set to anything over 35 lines of text. The effect is to hold those big files at your ISP until you turn off the filter. Lately, I've been receiving BIG WAV files - whole songs - from idiot "friends" of mine. These can take minutes to decode, and, like other binaries, write themselves directly to your harddrive upon receipt. This scares the hell out of me. With as many folks as we have using LUG, it is bound to happen once in a while. When you consider how rampant it is on Usenet, we should feel somewhat lucky. Regards, Ben W.
