[X4U] Mail-Slow Caching of msg's

[Norman Cohen]

I've seen this behavior as have many, many other people who have  
posted on Apple's Mail discussion list at <http:// 
discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=753>. I have yet to see a  
good answer to the problem, though.

per gallon, and explode once a year, killing everyone inside."
