Okey dokey. I'll study your message in more detail tomorrow since it's getting pretty darn late here, but I do have one immediate question. My mailserver is small and I need to pace the email that I send to it to avoid DOS-ing it. Therefore, I inject a pause of a fixed number of seconds between sending each outbound email. If I'm not allowed to pause the program, then how shall I create the delay between sending each message? Perhaps if I can get past this issue then everything else will fall into place. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com www.creekfm.com - FIFTY THOUSAND WATTS of POW WOW POWER! _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
