I mentioned earlier that I was experiencing a strange bug under X.2.3 
that caused my Emailer 2.0v1 (French) to quit when left unattended in the 
background, and sometimes refuse to relaunch until rebooted to OS 9.

I found that it only happens when using DHCP (in the network prefpane). 
Or maybe it is when there's no DNS server specified because my 
router/DHCP server handles that. Or maybe it is because OS X and OS 9 
TCP/IP settings didn't match. Or maybe it is because I currently have 2 
cascading routers/firewalls (one being an Asante router, the other being 
an Alcatel SpeedTouch Home ADSL modem hacked to activate its router 
features, which I needed before getting the real router and didn't bother 
reverting since).

Anyways, manually setting TCP/IP (DNS and IP address) cured the symptoms.

What is strange is that the bug would not only happen during scheduled 
connections, but also at startup, before even displaying the browser 
window (I didn't think Emailer did any networking then).
