Here's a puzzle for all you Mac gurus! No, it doesn't happen with all jpegs and rtfs. The problem is random, sporadic, inconsistent. Sometimes jpegs go through; sometimes they don't. Sometimes rtfs go through; sometimes they don't. At your suggestion, I ran Disk Utility and repaired permissions etc. Then I ran Disk Warrior. This seems not to have affected the problem. I have by now rebooted many times. In the past couple of hours, I have sent some attachments that went out immediately. Others sat in the outbox, generating error messages. Then there was the one test email, with an attached jpeg, that sat in my outbox for an hour. I have CE set to send&receive email every five minutes, so for an hour this message sat there, generating "busy file" error messages in my log folder. Then, after an hour of failed transmissions, the #$%&* thing goes through, without me doing anything to it! At least I am encouraged that if I leave email in the outbox long enough, sooner or later it will _probably_ go out! But when I need to send a business email, I need to send it now, now in an hour or two. I also know that in a desperate situation, I can always use Apple's Mail application to send attached files. But I want my CE to work! :-( Bob Fowler ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
