Subj: REPLY TO MSG #6033 (NEW SERVICE?)

The service you request is available on this bbs and has been thus for years!!

You say you want a place to dump your stuff while on the road, then pick it up
again when you get home.  You want it secure.  You want it easy.

Solution: Use the message enclosuer feature.

1) Go into the (3)PrivateMail area and post a short message to yourself, i.e.
Dear self: Enclosed is the football story from Penn State about the hot dog
that won the game.

2) Before saving your message, use the <F>ile feature in the message options
prompt line to upload a file-attachment to your message.  The file you upload
may be "any file type" you wish, i.e. ASCII or other.

3) After uploading your file, the message options prompt line will return.
Simply use the <S>ave option to save your message with file attached.

Your message with file attached is now available to you, and only you, until
you delete it yourself.  Yes, I can read it too but trust me ... I neither have
the time or interest.

Important: I would appreciate if private messages with enclosed files be
removed within 30 days.  They can pile up.  Also, leave me out of the
liability-loop for their safe-keeping should this system fail.

You will not be the first to use this system as such.  And don't worry about
doing so.  I have to spin the hard disks anyway ... it doesn't matter if the
bytes are organized or random.

Thanks for asking ... -Rick-
