I would think 20% plenty substantial enough. -- dkm At 10/2/2009 11:43 AM Friday, you wrote: >I am not sure about now, but the numbers I still have from 12/2006 were: > >147,015 Total Account on mail.msu.edu >27,998 Accounts auto-forwarding > >So about ~20% or so, definitely not close to a majority but that was >3 years ago.
