Re: [GWL]: Odd letter

I sent your question on to my web site master as he always has the answers
to these things.  (We first met because he was the tech support at my local
server and has since gone on to start his own business creating and
maintaining sites for people and businesses like mine.)  Here's his response:

"My guess is that the odd piece of mail was corrupted in some way that 
caused the mail server to stop the download. This is one of those "sh** 
happens" sort of things. I would further bet that the corruption of the 
message happened while it was in the "mail box" on the server, otherwise, 
it would have been rejected by the incoming mail server. This is beyond the 
control of Users."

If anyone needs a good web master he is Tom Powell and you can contact him
