[Rhodes22-list] Todd, Graham and Rhodes22 list

[Rik Sandberg]

Todd,

Download Thunderbird (from Mozilla, it's free) then you won't have to 
wade through all those improperly labeled emails at 28.8k.

If I had to do all my email through any net mail I don't think I'd 
belong to any email lists. Infact I might not use email at all if that's 
all I could use...... Ugh what a PITA.
