No, I haven't been getting them! I've been having this problem now and then, but I get about a hundred emails a day- mostly spam. Why don't you send me another message late tonite or early tomorrow, and I'll use my laptop? I really have no idea if the problem comes from my computor or from the server. Maybe it's time to get out of the Dark Ages and go broadband, but I'm too cheep.
