Groupwise is a finger trap
Once you go in, you can't get out. Also, it does not use longstanding internet standards for quoting and a lot of other things. I prefer to avoid it at my work, but have to use it sometimes. Can't archive those files except for use in GW. Real nuisance. I just ignore things if they aren't really important, and if people complain (mostly management) I tell them to phone me if it is important.
