Bill, I think someone suggested before that you NOT put your own email address in the To: field. It seems like that shouldn't make a difference. But try again and see if setting the To: field to an address that is different than the one from which you're sending the email works. I think you said once that you include your wife on these emails. Perhaps put her address in the To: field. Or else try another email address belonging to you.
