Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately with the version of courier I use, your instructions are incompatible and did not work. I found that either eliminating the "/etc/courier/me" file or adding it's contents to "/etc/courier/locals" fixed the problem.
The documents in my distrubution state that a zero-length "$HOME/.courier" file forces use of the system defaults. It also states that a missing .courier file is treated as a zero-length file. While my copy of the documentation does not explicity say what happens with a zero-length ".courier-default" file, I surmise it would be treated as though it does not exist. Anyway I appreciate your encouragement and assistance. :Bob ----- Original Message ----- From: "Systems Administrator" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Robert C.
