As I said, before debatching a mail download, Pluto backs up
the mail download and renames all the other backup
directories, so the previous download does not get
overwritten.

And in my experience will place a second (and third, fourth
if asked) copy of the same e-mail if it is fed with the same
raw e-mail.

If the message is too big for Pluto to handle then you need to stop Pluto
from seeing it.

Configure Hermes with a mazimum size, as detailed already in this thread.

If Hermes' message list window opens after a fetch and reports an oversize
message, if it's bigger than Pluto's maximum size then quit Pluto before
ticking the box to fetch it and clicking Execute.

After the mail has been fetched you will find the file in the directory
!NetFetch.Apps.!Hermes.MailDir.mailin.spool. You can then load this into
Attacher.

Remove the file before running Pluto again.

Ah, that sounds less user-friendly than POPStar.[1]

I would suggest putting a line such as the following into
Hermes !Run file

Filer_OpenDir
$.....!NetFetch.Apps.!Hermes.MailDir.mailin.spool
 688 310 200 400

which will place a small window towards the bottom of your
desktop, so that you can easily see exactly what Hermes is
downloading.

----------------------------------

[1] When POPStar finds an oversize message on the server it
stops downloading and throws up a dialgue box, from which I
have the choice of downloading it anyway, skipping it for
the moment, or deleting it off the server. If I choose the
last option, I have to confirm that I do want to delete.

POPStar also shows me the size of the e-mail, the sender and
the subject line, so it is pretty easy to make a decision,
and the decision time is also configurable. The default is
to skip large e-mails, so that they are just left on the
server while the smaller stuff is downloaded.

This makes it very simple to control which e-mails are
downloaded and when.

That's actually pretty much what is offered by Hermes when it comes across
a message larger then you've configured it to download automatically.

In what way is this more user-friendly? Hermes does exactly as you describe
except that it doesn't halt the mail fetch for an oversize message but
reports it afterwards. So if you don't happen to be watching out for every
mail fetch you will at least get all the acceptable mail in your inbox,
where you can be reading it while your multi-megabyte messages are
downloaded if you choose to fetch them.

Personally I do not like only finding out about it later.
POPStar will offer me the e-mail each time it checks that
particular mailbox. Certain other e-mail software does not
do that, making it much harder to delete spam off the
server.

Sorry if I was not clear.

POPStar stops the download *temporarily* - the length of
time is configurable, I have it set to 15s - and after that
time is up, it continues to fetch the ordinarily sized
e-mail.

Each to his own I guess. I much prefer to see all my suspicious mails in one
list rather than have to interrupt what I'm doing each time it comes across
one, and then have to decide quickly on the spur of the moment what to do
with it. I can go through the list in my own time marking each one to be
fetched, deleted or deferred and then execute the whole batch in one go.

How can one tell if this the case? I've had 500k e-mails fail to download
and debatch and conversely, without any observable reason, perhaps within
the same day, 2,500k e-mail will download and debatch successfully. That
is, all within the Hermes max size configuration. The problem seems to be
independent of the setting of Hermes configured max size. I just don't get
it!

That's one of the problems. For unfathomable reasons, Attacher has never
worked for me when I have tried this.

I'd try setting the maximum size to 8000kb and using your Argonet webmail
to get at the others.  I'm using Pluto 3.04e which is happy with email
sizes up to at least 8000kb, I remember that earlier versions couldn't
handle files of this size but when that was changed I don't remember.

I've taken note of this thread and have now done that.

What precisely have you in mind there, please? I use TapirMail, which
often gives me some idea that I am heading for a problem, but afterwards
is in the lap of the digital gods.

Same here, which leaves me somewhat baffled.

Yes, I seem to remember that, too.

You need to use your browser to get to 
http://email.orpheusnet.co.uk/src/login.php

Just put in your username and password and away you go.  If you don't have
your username and password then you'll have to contact Orpheus for them.

Works fine with Netsurf and Oregano.

Go to <http://email.orpheusnet.co.uk> and log in to your
account using your Orpheus e-mail id (something like xk15 or
cvd21) and e-mail password and look at your e-mail that way.

Thanks Alan and Russell. Sometimes the little grey cells just fail to work
at all. 8-)

However, there are puzzling issues.
