I have no idea how it is possible to waste so much memory, but I stick to it because the interface is nice. When it used 10MB of memory, I had more than 100 groups subscribed. I unsubscribed all groups I never read, that reduced the memory waste to about 5MB. Ruediger Helsch <ruediger@ramz.ing.tu-bs.de>
