Please answer directly to me, as the net has seen this before.... Also: Subject: Re: Unable to clear "new mail" prompts From: vtcf@ncsc.ARPA (Williams) To: info-vax@sri-kl.ARPA, jmleonar@crdec.ARPA Could you send me a copy of what you get as an answer to this problem? I have the same problem, and haven't been on the net that long. Thanks. I'm posting this to INFOVAX because it it SO commonly asked - and the answer is so simple: Go into mail. Read your new mail until you have read it all. Then type READ/NEW again. Any time you do a READ/NEW with no new mail actually pending, MAIL will reset the count. -- Jerry -------
