If this is true, it is extremely important that I get that message. I find= =20 also very unlikely that XMail does not deliver other messages, since there= =20 are many SMAIL threads on the system. So you should have so many "strange"= =20 messages as the number of SMAIL threads. - Davide - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
