No, it wasn't the same message but, oddly enough, it was always approximately the spot in the list of mail. That is, I could delete the offending message from a web-based mail server (mail2web.com) but Emailer would freeze again the next time at about the same spot. So I deleted enough spam to position the list so that that portion of the list was populated with junk and deleted 20-30 messages around the troublesome point. Emailer ran perfectly after that. Downloaded the large backlog without a hitch. Many thanks for a great suggestion. regards, Pat Sitton ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
