Also, be careful that the "off" and "no encoding" are properly set in each
message you send. I do not know of any way to turn them off for good. I
believe they turn on by default with each new message.
However, more to the point, if your mail server is a standard SMTP/POP3
server (which it probably is unless you are on AOL), why don't you switch to
using Outlook Express? It's a free download from Microsoft. I used Claris
Em@iler for several years. Em@ailer was a great program, but this year we
got DSL, so I'm closing my AOL mailbox and have switched to Outlook Express
5.0. I have read that Outlook Express was written by the same people who
wrote Claris Em@iler. Indeed, it does have the same feel, except about 3
years better! It is a beautiful Mac program -- almost always defaults to
just what I want it to do, never crashes, and you can AppleScript it to do
just about anything. And, (confirming that it was probably written by the
Claris folks) it is able to import all your Claris Em@iler messages and
address book. Very nice!
P.S. Outlook Express does need OS 8.1 or above, but System 7 was such a
dog, I hope that OS 8 will run on your 280.
