On 11 Jul 2002, it is alleged that Klysteria Klismetti sauntered in to
netscape.public.mozilla.mail-news and loudly proclaimed:

Er, these *are* the developer NGs; the user NGs are listed below.

Your problem seems to be rather different from that which Dean experienced
or from what might occur from profile corruption, altho' the end result
might be the same.
Try to formulate your problem as clearly and concisely as possible and post
to one of the user groups and we'll try to help you sort things out.
