A user in OLC suggested that inc be modified so that the user can tell
how many messages (or perhaps how many K?) should be incorporated
before the program stops. I realize that this would entail a major
revision of the program, since it would then have to incorporate
messages one by one instead of putting them all into /tmp and moving
them to the ~/Mail/inbox directory, but it's a better alternative than
continuing to let people lose mail when they are over quota.
Alternatively, has inc been modified in version 6.0 so that it will
stop incorporating once the user starts getting write errors?
Finally, has anything policy-wise been said about what will happen if
any of the post-offices fill up over the summer? I have heard that
junk-mail was deleted last summer when things got full, but is that
going to happen again this summer?
