Your immediate problem sounds like the names_.102 file has been
damaged in the crash. If the file is present in the file set and
isn't recognized on startup, the file is probably damaged and should
be restored from your most recent backup.
The original problem is apparently crashing when you try to send a
mass mailing. In order for the list watchers to help, you'll need to
be more specific about what step you are attempting when the crash
occurs, and what happens (freeze, FileMaker quits, etc.).
