Which OS are you using, which version of Ming, Apache, etc.? Because that's 
definitely not typical Ming behavior.

In fact I don't think my Apache has ever crashed at all with Ming. I'm on a 
Linux system using Apache 1.3.29, PHP 4.3.4 and the version/variation of 
Ming (0.2c ?? I think it's just 0.2a modified to work better with recent 
versions of PHP) that comes with PHP.

Again, either way works for me, as expected.

I highly recommend reinstalling Ming from different sources, what you have 
sounds like it's just not working correctly.

BTW, this may be nitpicking but speaking of fonts... could I suggest using 
a crisper font (Arial or Verdana, etc.) for your outgoing email, or just 
send as plain text? I don't know if you really like the Garamond font, but 
I found it horribly unreadable when I opened your email. =/ Not every email 
app will autoadjust point size for such a small font (yes I know Outlook 
does, but not all of us use Outlook).
