[WEB4LIB] RE: Can anyone help?

[McGARVEY, NANCY [McGARVEY.N at gmc.edu]]

Thanks to all who responded to my initial inquiry!  I was satisfied that
most responded that no, you can't see the truncated part of the message.
The rest of this is *way more* than I need to know!! :)

It certainly makes reading e-mail go a whole lot faster.....
