I assume that the messages go "personal mail server -> listserver -> listees (including Mail Archive)" so it would appear the either some peoples' mail is causing the problem or some peoples' ISP is. There is certainly a discrepancy in the way mails appear from my ntl (ptui!) account depending on whether I am using an email programme or webmail, so I am thinking it is likely to be the former in my case. It has been very reluctant this afternoon so, once I get home, I will try it from there to see if the difference continues. mike ----------------------------------------- Email sent from www.ntlworld.com - virus-checked by McAfee - visit www.ntlworld.com/security for more information
