Has your e-mail box ever been clogged by a huge file? Ithappens, often, when somebody sends you a big (1-plus MB)slideshow, movie or application. When trying to download themegafile, your mail server may keep timing out and breaking theconnection--not allowing you to get at the rest of your maileither.

To end the aggravation, try downloading Hermes, a small (235KB)freeware program that lets you log on to your mail server, read theheaders, and if there's mail you want to zap, a click of a keydoes the job. You won't use this utility every day, but on thatday when you receive a 5MB "dancing baby" movie thatparalyzes your e-mail, you'll say your thanks.
