Actually, ".us" did exist a long time ago; before even Claris Em@iler was conceived. In any case that is not the problem. The problem is a "funny" character (see the end of this message) getting inserted somewhere (probably, in the Em@iler account set-up). No need to try magic (I guess to many both AppleScript and Voodoo, would fall into that category. :-) Just re-enter (carefully) the information in the "Email account" and "Email address" fields in the account set-up. If that does not work, then the problem is elsewhere. >Both I and my fellow MUG member will appreciate any and all assistance. > > Begin forwarded message: > >> From: xx >> Date: Sat May 18, 2002 09:46:08 US/Pacific >> To: Multiple recipients of OACCList <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >> Subject: OACC: Claris Email Error Message >> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >> >> What does the following mean?
