I cannot speak to the winsock error message; however, I can say that
when the BN is downloading messages from the ISP server, if for any
reason, the download gets interrupted before downloading all messages
stored on the server, all the messages will be downloaded again whether
they are already on the BN or not.  I'm told this has to do with the
ISP, not the BN.  I don't understand the technicalities of all this, but
this is what I've been told by people with more technical knowledge than
mine.  And, when my BN message downloads have been interrupted, this is
exactly what happens; got almost 600 messages downloaded twice while on
vacation, Ugg!

Subject: [Braillenote] Winsock Error

Awhile ago, Sabahattin, myself, and a number of list members were
involved in a discussion about a reoccuring winsock error which caused
the user to have to disconnect the BN from the web, and, upon
reconnecting, the BN did not recognize the previously downloaded
messages and skip over them as it normally does, but begins
redownloading duplicate copies of these messages.

When Sabahattin explained this to me I was a bit confused because, as he
later found out, the BN generally checks the headers of email messages
against those already stored in the inbox and, if they match, does not
recognize the duplicate messages. However, just the other day, I
connected my BN to the server, and  began downloading 55 messages. At
mere message 22, I received this very winsock error (which I had never
received before, though I have downloaded up to 160 messages using
keymail), was forced to disconnect and, sure enough, upon reconnecting,
my BN began downloading a second copy of the 22 messages already
downloaded.

I began using the BN using version 4.01. So, my question is, is this a
keysoft 5.0 problem? Will it continue to occur? I would appreciate any
comments. Laura
