  To be honest I never knew about that subdirectory and the files it  
  contained.  
  Because it costs nothing for disc space now I probably have 15 copies of the  
  same directory.  
    
  I have been on fido for over 30 years and all I had was bad mail from10  
  years  
  ago is not bad.  AND I did this without trying.

  Ya, these were mail bundles re-named and set in some obscure subdirectory  
  going back years and I just found it.  
    
  Anyway... I do have a new-old computer setup now... Windows 7 32Bit... Disc  
  space is clean and ready to go.  I will be adding a modem to it because the  
  Zombie Apocalypse is near.  
    
  More to come later...
