My biff stopped working when I starting using filter, I assume due to the preesence of the .forward file. Is there anyway to get my biff back. I tried using newmail giving it the name of the file to which my filter rule saves some messages. That too doesn't seem to work.. Can someone help me.. or the only solution is to take off the filter.. thanks.. pravin -- This program posts news to billions of machines throughout the galaxy.
