Yeah I know it was pretty vague.  I just tried a test this AM (far too 
early this AM) and made a copy of the troublesome mailbox.  Waited for 
the scripts to run and to see the damage; but guess what ... not today!

There are far too many variables involded in this mess.  And as I see new 
gotchas crop up I focus too much on them and forget the previous 
identified problems/issues.  I think once I get them sorted out the ret 
will fall in line.  The problem is the list gets longer as the TPTB 
twiddle their collective fingers instead of getting me what I need.

So enough whining.  Thanks, at least, for the "think" Mark.
