Yes the bugger of it is that everyone wants to use Outlook Express these
days :) Myself included. I send whoppers around all the time too - why does
it never happen to me, even when I dial in from home? Maybe there are
different DLLs on 95/98 machines (I use NT at work and Win2K at home). I'll
keep an eye on OS's too and post the results in here, maybe we can finally
pinpoint the problem!
