   Thanks, Ralph, for the suggestion. Originally, that box did NOT have an   
   X in it. Regardless of whether it does or does not, the problem remains.   
   Each time I changed the box, I shut down the email program and restarted   
   it, just to see if that would make a difference. It didn't. Problem remains.
