Re: problem is NOT body content dependant

I'm still not getting anywhere with this. If I send a message from
another account, it seems to work fine, so now I'm trying to figure out
what the difference is in the messages. The body is identical, so it
must be something in the header. I tried to duplicate the message I'm
sending, but it hasn't made much difference.

One message I keep seeing is :

"WARNING: Message 1148537537.53 disappeared from POP3 server ..."

Can anyone tell me what this means and how to fix it?

I'm running out of options, and I'm already a day overdue on getting
this working (again - it used to work fine; consistently).

Max.
