Under Windows NT I get:
4294967296

Exactly what you expected.

BTW, is there a way to configure this group to receive individual messages?
Currently, I only have the options of Web only/Daily group.
Perhaps there is something to change in administrator mode...
My other eGroups/YahooGroups does allow me to get individual messages, so I
doubt it is a problem with my account.
Note that briefly before becoming YahooGroups, I had this option available.
Then, I didn't received any message from the group, and I had to set back to
daily mode.
Currently, it is a bit hard to answer to a message: I have to edit the whole
daily message to get only the relevant one.

Regards.
