I have been trying to send an e-mail to my niece using the same address I have always used. Until yesterday I had no problem with this. Yesterday I received a message "an alias with a circular reference was encountered in this message. Please fix the alias and try again." I do not know what that means or how to fix it. I tried replying to a letter she had sent and I received the same message. Same message again when I typed in the address instead of using the address book. What does this mean and how do I fix it? Why would it work and then all of a sudden not work? Evelyn

Make sure that the e-mail address and the name are not the same entry. At 04:23 PM 9/25/01, you wrote: >I have been trying to send an e-mail to my niece using the same address I >have always used.

You have both the "nickname" and the actual email address set up identically, i.e., Nickname: johndoe@wherever.com Email Address: johndoe@wherever.com SgtGeorge At 05:23 PM 09/25/2001, Evelyn Hendricks wrote: *********START OF ORIGINAL MESSAGE TEXT********* >I have been trying to send an e-mail to my niece using the same address I >have always used.
