Hmm, I've never seen a delay like that. When I use my isp's mail server it does take about 10 minutes for it to get delivered. Lately I've been using my gmail account. It's the closest to instantaneous I have seen (hope they can keep it up). I sent a message this morning to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and after I sent it I checked for new mail and there was the reply about 5 seconds later. Is there anything else in the mix that might account for those delays? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
