I can only report my findings. I run Windows 98SE with ZAPro 3.5.169.002 I worked my ISP technical support for several hours making a dozen callbacks in the process. They had me not just uninstall but remove Norton Antivirus. That had no effect. When they had me remove ZAPro, the mail which had been stuck on one of these peculiar messages suddenly downloaded with ease. When I reinstalled ZAPro, I discovered that the problem was dependent on the toggling of the Mailsafe option. 99% of the mail I receive goes thru fine with Mailsafe enabled. Once in a while a piece of mail will cause the download to hang and eventually time-out. With Mailsafe disabled, the troublesome piece of mail downloads with the rest of the batch. One subscription list has been generating these problem mails daily since December 15. I have no idea what change they made at that time. My efforts to communicate with a live person responsible for producing the daily mails have gone unanswered. You are welcome to subscribe to the list yourself and see if you can download the digest with Mailsafe enabled. The subscription list is "beginning vb digest". You can subscribe to it at http://p2p.wrox.com/list.asp?list=beginning_vb One of the ISP tech support specialists noted that all of the problem mail which I have saved on the mail server exhibited some strange zero or negative time-stamp. The explanation was largely lost on me. The digests are not by any means huge, on the order 5K typically, so size is certainly not a meaningful factor. -- Best regards, Lawrence mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
