Not the same question. Yes - I can tell how many components are in my INBOX.

I can't tell how many are going to be sent to me today and
perhaps while I am getting the queue.

     vs
        (iRIP-queued vs CAP-store)

Its like an SMTP queue. You can't know until its done. You can
make a guess. And the quess can be the number in the queue when
you ask. Do you not transfer any new ones?
