Bret, I have started really listening and I think I see what folks have been talking about. It's pretty easily ignored, but yet not; if that makes sense. It's there, but perhaps the speed I use covers it up some, but mention to [email protected] and the more folks that mention this, the more likely it'll be addressed. I am curious what the cause might be and if speed or some formats of mail etc. has any affect. On Aug 30, 2009, at 2:20 PM, Brett Campbell wrote:
