Pa Bear, thank you for the quick reply. I will check out the info. you have
given ref. the websites and I will turn off the scanning of the incoming and
the outgoing mail. Thank you so much for the advice. Have a good evening. I
do not use OE and I can see by reading the post on this forum that it is
rather complicated.
