That will fix anything. ;-)              Failing that, with the program closed, and using your file manager,       locate your profile. In the mail section locate the file inbox.msf       and delete it. Now restart Net. Does that solve the problem?              To locate your profile, you can read this:       http://ilias.ca/netscape/profilefaq/#locations              but if you're using windows, then you must read this first:       http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/helpandsupport/learnmor       /tips/hiddenfiles.mspx              --       CIA - Computer Industry Acronyms: MICROSOFT: Most Intelligent       Customers Realize Our Software Only Fools Teenagers.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
