Sorry about that yet again. I thought it was being funky when it took too long after clicking "Send". It occurred on the newest Opera-Stable installed 24 hours ago. When this occurs, as I've seen it happen for others, too, I THINK it's possibly about a browser's refresh rate or something similar ("redraw, whatever that is"?) *hiccup* causing a malfunction in tandem with less than optimal networking connections. Websites used to "yell at me", a "whoa, cowboy" kind of deal, where the'd sometimes even threaten to lock me out a couple years ago. Their complaint was about the browser being too eager, making too many refresh requests in too short a time. Opera had something called a "redraw" [rate] that seemed to be the cause. Back then, it could be changed slightly but NOT STOPPED, unfortunately. :) Opera finally evolved to where that hasn't been such an issue. Every once in a while, though, instances like this newest double-sent email give a quick peek back at those not so long ago "it's not you, it's not me, it's THEM" days.
