Hi again--
You are right, it's not SpamSieve. I disabled spam filtering and the problem
still occurs. Just looking at my Console here, it seems like a plist parse
problem in the Cookies file...so maybe it will be simple to fix if that's it. I
plan to do a sampling as you've suggested (have to wait another day for more
problem msgs to arrive), and will send it to Jerome offline and hope he can
advise me.
Thanks for your helpful strategizing and links, really helped me a lot as I was
at a loss.
Best wishes,
Anna
