He’s also planning on rebuilding the mail system. The one we have now was just a quick and dirty he threw together one night and never got around to refining. He didn’t know at the time that it would be so popular. He had to disable the by sender feature because it was killing system performance. He’s going to redesign the database and add lots more features to the mail system as he rebuilds it. For example, he wants each user to be able to download their mail boxes so they can manage them off line and purge the older stuff from FR. He also wants to allow “party line” multiple user freepmail so three or more people can carry on a private conversation and all parties invited are sharing the same “freepmail” thread.

Yipeeeeeee!

There's so much in that post that I had to repeat it.
No pressure, John, but I'm really looking forward to the new frmail features.

BTW, is there a way you could add a "delete all on the page" function?

I'm excited at the "new" look for FR.

Thank you both for all that you do.

Wow, we're in for some big changes with FReepmail. That "party line" thing sounds absolutely amazing! This and the downloading of mail boxes will come with instructions, right? Sounds a bit complicated. Actually, the "quick and dirty" FReepmail system that we have now is pretty amazing to me, and very handy.

KUDOS to John and to you for creating/ tweakng / updating all this amazing stuff for us (not to mention putting up with our complaints).

In the meantime, I guess I'd better (ahem) get going purging my many years' worth of FReepmails... ;-)

Jim, I have tried to search for posters comments and have not been able to do that. Several Posters have said put in the search space, by:Posters name. Then their ARTICLES will come up. Then they say to click on COMMENTS. Only problem is I don't get any COMMENTS TAB. Below is what I get.
