Another email program worth considering is Pegasus Mail, which is 
free, and allows selective downloading, ie only headers which you can 
delete at the ISP, and also can be told not to open html files etc. 
I've been using it for about nine years. (It's written by a Kiwi as 
well!)

I wasted a lot of time last weekend in the CQWW CW, hope the sun 
behaves itself for the upcoming TARA, which is all daylight hours in 
ZL, 0700-1500 local, so will be listening/calling mostly on 10M but 
possible on 15m towards the end.
