[pmmail-list] Download progress meter?

[Gene Gough]

I also used it for several years, in fact I started using it when it was offered to IBM employees at a discount.  
But the point I was trying to make was that you can STOP the process of download or upload.  That was all I 
was asking for/referring to.  PMMAIL needs that same ability.    After all the back and forth of this discussion 
it kind of got lost that all I was asking for was the ability to stop the transfer.  I think we have beat this 
enough, the developers know that several, even perhaps many of us would like the ability to terminate 
transfer.
