The really sounds like you have a bad Temp Incoming file. Open the Temp Incoming folder, remove the newest file (sort by date, take out the top one). If in doubt, remove all Temp Incoming files. Start Emailer again and see if it crashes. >At this point I'm looking for a service bureau or mega-expert that I >can pay to have these file salvaged.

If you want to try compressing your entire Emailer folder (everything, application and all, so it is retained exactly as you have it). Depending on size and your connection speed, you can send it over to me and I'll be happy to take a look. If nothing else, I am REALLY curious what is happening to your setup. Please do NOT email it to me, if it compresses small enough to make it worth uploading it to me, then upload it to my FTP site (ftp.mythtech.net). Just stick it in the Incoming folder (that folder has unrestricted upload access, but no one but me can see the contents and download them, so it will be safe to stick it there). If it is too big to upload, and you can put it on CD or Zip disk, I can give you an address to mail it to me. I'll be up front here, I don't think I'll charge you. It will depend on how much time it takes me to find the problem. But I'm mostly interested in solving it so I can understand what went wrong and know for anyone else that has the problem in the future. Oh, if we go forward with me looking at it, I'll also need to know what your setup is that you have having these problems on (What Mac, what OS version). -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
