It means that the next mail will be downloaded only if the previous one has been processed through the filters; and if the filter calls an external program with "wait for program completion" marked, downloading must be halted during that program's execution. I don't think this would be a very wise algorithm, that's why I ask whether you know or assume TB acts like that. Apart from that, the Connection Center would still show the running task, wouldn't it? And that task would be killable by hitting Delete or Abort. JA> Just another thing to check if all else fails. FWIW there were no filters calling any external programs or scripts when the problem occurred on my box a couple of months back. The running task was definitely the Connection Center itself. -- Cheers, Thomas. Moderator der deutschen The Bat! Beginner Liste. Ad: Our experienced Mom will care of your child.
