It's not just a question of paying by the minute, but of having the process
of downloading mail drag on interminably. Which also means that those of us
who use E-mail for work, etc., would find ourselves waiting endlessly for
important messages. The one solution to that, of course, might be to set
your E-mail program not to down load messages over a certain length.
