It's a long-standing (was going to say "known", but as I think of it
I've never received any confirmation back from BSW from all the
complaints, attached messages that crash PMMail/2, etc, that I've
sent over the past 2 years about this problem) issue with PMMail/2.

I now have PMMail configured such that I can start it up in Remote
Control.  I then make a pass thru and delete all the obvious spam.
Before, it would invariably crash several times/week.  Now it's not so bad.

(The problem still exists, and I have some examples should BSW be
interested in fixing it.)
