The strangest thing just happened to my e-mail... I came home to read and clear out, and found two posts. one from a cousin, and another with a mysterious looking sender with the subject: your son. Thinking that it might be a virus/worm, I ran a check and no virus was found any where on my system. Okay. I read the post and it was just a reply to a statement I had made about on a list. While dialing my internet connection, the windows froze, and I did some thing...(stml)...either restarted windows by going through start, or managed to exit outlook and begin it again. No problem there. However, when I came back to my inbox, it only included a count of 583 posts...I had about 2286 that I had been gleaning. I scrolled through those I had not deleted yet, and don't any breaks in dates, could I have accidentally hit the shift button and deleted? or could my anti-virus program have done it, or what? My other lists don't seem to be affected. I just upgraded my anti-virus this evening. I am not all that concerned about what I lost... Jennifer S. Braswell

Folks, please excuse the post I just sent. It was not intended to go to the list until I tested a hunch. I accidentally hit send before I could change the address to the account that was affected. My hunch was correct. I gave my self a big V-8 slap...I had been gleaning and deleting from my send box, not my inbox. the counts were correct in both. As you can see, I have mucho, mucho post to clear file, and delete.... My apologies.
