    If you're collecting mail via POP, try switching to a protocol like a
    streamed SMTP push, if your ISP supports it - collecting a lot of
    small mails, which is usually what this list is, using POP generally
    won't use anywhere near the full capacity of the link, because there
    is so much protocol overhead. Over a satellite link, it's even worse,
    because of the high latency.

    Can we all, please, at least do things like not repeatedly quoting the
    list's four-line signature, and not quoting things like .config files?
    There surely can't be any disagreements about that :-).

    John.
