Didn't realize I was a network admin.

Your version of Thunderbird is superseded and vulnerable to some known
security problems:
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/secu...l#mozilla1.7.3


I'll leave it to you to decide what sort of user description you fall
under.


My version of Thunderbird was superseded by one that won't fetch Pop3
messages properly. *All* methods of connecting to the Internet are
"vulnerable" to known security problems. And because the "MVP"
designation is appended to your signature, I *know* what kind of user
you are.

Dave,
No problem. Had my Dave-Decoder ring on so the first attempt was fine.
Yes, Hope is well with me g (was that her name ?)
Just been busy with SP2 and other's and family stuff....so no exciting
news on this end. Your "friends" in NJ have kept me a tad busy with the
ever "interesting.." projects they like to get in to g
