Doh! I'll be the first to admit that I'm a little slow on the uptake
sometimes. After reading your reply it finally dawned on me that K9
would scan *ALL* messages, regardless of size, unless that box {Don't
filter messages larger than} was checked. I have now reset the size
option back to K9's default of 200K but have yet to perform any
further tests. I'll run some tests and post if I continue to have
problems.
Thanks to all for helping me understand what was probably going on.
