Clicking on the X has no effect. What you are seeing is different than what I am talking about.

I just received two more emails like this today. My ISP uses Horde as a web interface to email, and I did the following: 1) Confirm which message was causing the problem 2) Copy the offending email to another "folder" in Horde 3) Delete (and "purge") the offending message 4) Confirm that I could now download emails with the offending email removed However, the problem is that if I now copy the email from the other folder back to my In Box, POWERMAIL NO LONGER HANGS ON THE EMAIL. I suspect that this is a problem with a malformed email (eg, malformed headers) that are "fixed" when I copy the email from one folder to the other. I will forward to Jérôme the offending emails privately, and I will think about how I might be able to isolate them. FWIW, they appear to be emails in Russian which don't correctly identify the character set used. They do not appear to be spam, they are an "undelivered mail" message in response to a spammer who is using my return address.
