hi there

I just attempted to inc my mail, using xmh.  I was over quota, it
turned out.  The error message that popped up in my console window was:

afs: failed to store file (over quota)

xmh did manage to get the subject line and display it, but when I tried
to look at the file, it was empty.  When I look in ~/Mail/inbox/802
(which is where it tried to put it) the file is empty:

-rw-------  1 lavin           0 Jan 31 12:05 802

And the mail is no longer longer on the post-office machine, either.

This is bad.  It turns out that the particular mail message is not
super important, but it could have been.  Can somebody DO something about this?

Anne
