You couldn't even carry on reading the next message until it had gone, and sometimes the pauses were so long that I was almost convinced that it was a cumulative leak somewhere - then I'd get a message out immediately, so that theory didn't hold. Since I changed the rendering I've only had pauses of up to 2-3 seconds, with most mail going straight out. Anne -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
