Hi Again Grant,
In actuality I don't even need to change anything about the template .....
just resave it using notepad.
For instance I have affixed two HTML files
- sendmail-orig.html - the original HTML Template from IPswitch and
- sendmail-mine.html - version of sendmail-orig.html that I opened in
notepad then did a save on without touching at all.
sendmail-orig.html works fine but sendmail-mine.html doesn't even if I
delete the sendmail.par file in the WEB directory.
They are exactly the same (except for the "Last Modified Date").
I am about to lose my mind as it doesn't make sense.
If sendmail-mine.html works on your system then we can safely assume that
there is something with my particular installation of the software.

else to tell you.
