Dear all, If you haven't done so already (!), please disregard my earlier posting. I found the solution on my own after much guesswork and tinkering with the Windows Registry. If anyone is interested, please e-mail me off-list and I'll pass on my fix for the problem. Again, my apologies for tainting the IMail Forum. I was desperate :) Guy -- Guy Isabel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ----- Original Message ----- From: "Guy Isabel" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "IMail Forum" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, July 14, 2000 12:46 PM Subject: Way OT: PCA & NetWare > > First, please accept my sincere apologies for using this list for such an > extremely off-topic question.
