The aborted email download has been traced to enabling MailSafe in ZoneAlarm. It is supposed to "protect your computer from incoming e-mail attachments that contain malicious code or viruses." It is supposed to quarantine "these attachments, preventing them from running without your permission."
Rather than quarantining these particular e-mail messages, the MailSafe option caused all of my e-mail clients, including The Bat! to hang or time-out when it encountered one of these strange messages. Examining the message on my mail server, they appear to be completely innocuous. They are typically small text messages with no attachments whatsoever. I have opened up a case with ZoneLabs to determine why this option breaks the mail download process when certain messages are encountered. -- Best regards, Lawrence Johnson mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
