I was wondering if there is a setting within TB that is delaying the sending of email or if this is just K9? -- Best regards, Tim mailto:[email protected] ________________________________________________ Current version is 4.2.23 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
