[comp.os.cpm] Missing Digest Issues

SEA@UNB.BITNET (03/08/88)

   My list of recently received INFO-CPM Digests includes issues
   49, 50, 52, 53, 54 and 56.  There seem to be missing issue
   numbers dispersed through this list.  Am I loosing issues
   through the mailing system, or does the issue number not
   increment by one for each successive issue?

Steve,

The issue numbers are sequential and consecutive.  However, I am told
that the mail queuing mechanisms in BITNET give preference to small
mail files over larger ones.  So, the large INFO-CPM digest messages
may arrive late and/or out-of-order.  Some may not arrive at all
because they are "too big."  If you end up missing digests after
waiting about a week, send a request for the missing issues to
INFO-CPM-REQUEST@SIMTEL20.ARPA.
