No, I'm not trying to delete the message. What I want to do is send a message to myself and refresh the mailbox, so that I can see the message in my mailbox before the next scheduled mail check. (In other words, I want to be able to check my mail at an arbitrary time, rather than at every mail_check interval). Paul
