Gurth, I don't think it is you. We use the exact same mailer, and I have not had any
problems (none that I know of). Keith uses AOL, so it is no a Windows problem either.
Keith, if it continues, contact AOL tech support.

(BTW, I sent this to the list in case anyone else is having problems. If you are, let us
know.)
