Alicia, when you set LACTNEt NOMAIL, there is NO deluge of messages. You
just have dropped out for a period of time. They are not SAVED for you...if
you want to read them, you need to look at the archives.

Have a good trip. Here's the archival retrieval instructions:

***************************

Here's the usual sequence for getting a log file:  First, send the command
        INDEX LACTNET
which will produce a listing of all files available for LACTNET, like this:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
*
* Archive files for the LACTNET list at LIBRARY.UMMED.EDU
* (weekly logs)
*                             rec               last - change
* filename filetype   GET PUT -fm lrecl nrecs   date     time
* -------- --------   --- --- --- ----- ----- -------- --------
  LACTNET  LOG9502    LOG OWN V      80  2843 95/03/09 09:56:55
  LACTNET  LOG9503    LOG OWN V     137  5174 95/03/31 14:51:30
  LACTNET  LOG9504    LOG OWN V     203  7959 95/04/22 16:20:52
  LACTNET  LOG9504D   LOG OWN V      80   205 95/04/23 08:50:07
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Then, send a command GET LACTNET LOGxxxxx to get the relevant log file:

GET LACTNET LOG9504D would get the fourth week of April
GET LACTNET LOG9504 would get April through when you changed the log setting
GET LACTNET LOG9503 would get the entire month of March
GET LACTNET LOG9505A would get the first week of May
