	I've just seen a second occurence of the following :

	I finish reading/reviewing my mail and am ready to exit. I often
	leave between 3-12 active messages in my mailbox when I quit, rather
	than having them saved to the =received folder. When I did a "q" to
	quit Elm, a saw a system message that /usr/spool was full. When I
	tried to then re-enter Elm or even use bsd Mail, all of those 
	messages were gone ! 

	1.) Is there something we have done wrong in configuring Elm ?

	2.) Is this a known bug ?

	3.) Is there a definite fix in PL11,12,13 or Elm 2.3 ?

	4.) Should I start allowing all messages to go to the =received
	    folder rather than risk a re-occurance ? (that would be a real
	    pain ... )

	Have others had the same thing happen ? We are running on a Pyramid
	MIServer with 1 cpu & OSx 5.0 ...
