 	Would that get them onto a different machine?? What I 
want *not* to do is have them on Lserv, much less view them there 
-- if I could.

 	And would FM, or anyone else, so cavalierly dump out my 
whole inbox?? For forwarding things from myself to myself?? They 
have my Lserv address. If they insist on that, I'll close the 
account.

 	Fwiw, I have my computer glasses back. So I gritted my 
teeth, rebooted the other machine to XP, and opened Mulberry 
(which I had set to FM as the only address I had yet given it), 
meaning to start looking it over. That was all before an extended 
break for real life.

 	So I looked at Mulberry just now, think it might just 
default to removing from server. (If it does, and isn't easy to 
fix, I'll uninstall it without further ado.) But I see no 
messages there, either.
