Different Temp Incoming problem then Bill was seeing. The .DS_Store file won't cause a crash, but rather just causes Emailer to fail to unpack the temp files on the first pass. Bill was seeing the crash problem, which is due to a Temp Incoming file containing information that Emailer can't process properly. In Bill's case, trashing the offending temp file will cure the crash. In the case you describe, you are correct, trashing the entire folder will cure the unpack problem (as well as just deleteing the .DS_Store file, but that can be much trickier then it seems, which is why deleting the entire folder is a good way to handle it) -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
