Thanks, I guess I did not know that it just passed the message contents to
imail1! I thought it used imail1 and got a response back (somehow) then
displayed the delivered msg.
Learn something every day!
So the temp file, could still be around, if imail1.exe did not complete.
Yes? Then one could look for those files (and get date/time info to check
logs, if needed).
