[lug] @INC problems

[John Starkey]

Thanks a lot for the help. I had to go with emumail. In a fraction of the
time I've spent on Neomail _just_today_ I've managed to get qpopper and
emu working.

I tried out postaci yesterday. I loved the interface sample on their page,
but I couldn't get it working either. End of Script errors.

The only problem so far with emu is that it's $3000 for the source or you
have to stare at ads all day. 

Thanks again
