Nonsense, Rick. I think it's a lovely thought. However, if Mr.
King's software supports it, he is notified before actually
reading the mail that it is postage due, and he can delete those
messages without reading them. No charge incurred.
However, here is another option. Complain to CompuServe about
Mr. King's actions. They'll get after him. CompuServe's Customer
