Boy, what a shock!! >>> Sher Given that this was happening immediately before and after Pat's message, that message is clearly not the cause; but nor, I think, are mine and Diane Tamullion's, nor the CORNISH content as a whole unless there is an intermittent failure of the List-server to delete messages once they have been downloaded my list-members. That leaves only a possible glitch in your settings. Depending on what mail- client software you are using, there could be a setting to ensure that your system sends a "delete" message to the server as each message comes down, and if that temporarily fails the message could just keep coming in as the next message in the queue until the failure ends. It might be worth pursuing if it continues to happen, as such volumes must be thrashing your download allowance! Andrew Rodger rodgera@audioio.com
