Hmmmm. I looked at this and found my v.1.02 to have the same problem. There are at least two ways ebase flags emails as not valid, one in the Research ? field and one in a field that isn't visible but is used in the routine. If the non-visible field is marked, that record is automatically eliminated from any future emails until it is fixed. Oddly, that field operates properly b/c records marked in the Research ? field can still receive email. So the only real problem is that it's impossible to figure out which email addresses to research.
If I get some time, I'll certainly look for the problem, but it will be a while. Anyone else? It's a bit of a dirty task as the layers in the email routine are fairly deep.
