Re: R6 Roaming user default file size

[Chris Whisonant <Chris.Whisonant@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Question I've always had - why doesn't Lotus include the names in the mail 
file by default. That's just another issue to deal with when you have to 
upgrade a user's PC or if their PC crashes. Of course they "should" be 
synchronizing their contacts but how many actually do that....
