I suggest you to use shell account. In Unix shell, your mail can be saved
in case of disconnection or power failure. I don't think that sending a
title with blank body E-mail was caused by the incidence of disconnection
unless your modem is very slow or the system of your internet provider had
bottleneck problem during data transaction. Pine on Unix shell has
function to send mail more than once if it did not go through at first. In
fact, I would say the mail service in most of the Unix service are
configured in that way. If I sit here thinking while I am on line, the
Unix system may disconnect me after 20 minutes without activity. If you
always have need to wait longer than that, you should contact the system
administer of your accounter provider to give you longer idal time.
