The first time I saw "From Semillon': [Abort] Server full," it worried me.  Perhaps error messages should only be printed when the mail is undeliverable or when some wizard-mode flg is set?'

Indeed.  The message you saw came as a result of a change to the BSP protocol handler to make it more informative about why a connection attempt failed.  This was generally a good thing in the case of Chat and Ftp.  Unfortunately, in Lafite''s case, the program itself is quite willing to recover from a connection failure, so it would rather suppress the message, at least until it gives up.  Is on my list to fix.'
