Good.  Thanks.  

My objective is add a hint in the wikibook.  Google and Wikipedia 
haven't found a good reference yet.  I might try to write something
based upon your message.

ETH O. and A2 O. have a file with name such as 
UIDL.127.0.0.1.peter at easthope.ca. Content here is this in one line.

UID16252-1329772258 UID77894-1329772258 UID98661-1329772258 
Three strings of 16 characters separated by the 0X character.  0X might 
display as an empty rectangle in a mail reader.  

Meanwhile, three messages exceed the size limit configured in Oberon 
Mail and wait on the server until the size limit accomodates or the 
server is accessed by another means such as Web mail.

Thx.,                                ... P.L.
