Hey, remember me? It's the Dennison Hall resident VMS expert, which, judging by the number of questions I ask here, says a lot. I posted here a while ago about a friend who was running out of disk space and I couldn't figure out why. I was told to compress his mail file. Seemed to haev worked. Well, problem is back. I've tried compressing his mail file, gives a disk quota exceded message. Tried switching to acquired space, still, disk quota exceded. He is trying to forward a 33k (I believe) mail file. Pine Barfs at this. I had thaught that running Pine from a temp dir would solve this, but, not so. Any suggestions? Still the STRETMRD account, if you want to try again Kent. Thanks for the help.
