I gave this a try. I'm trying to understand the output, but it's pretty
complex for me. A lot of it seems to be regarding the RSS feeds I
subscribe to, and those aren't the problem---it's getting these big
mails. Anyway, here's the output. Do you see anything here that's
related to the problem I'm having? Thank you! -Steven
