Yes, I know that sounds backwards, > but when I try to read the new mail, I'm instead shown the oldest mail in my > mailbox. I'm posting this as a follow-up to the above article I posted yesterday. Just after I posted that article, another user here complained of a problem with somewhat similar symptoms. In his case, when he tried to display a new message, he was given a previously read message from the same day. As I say, it's similar in that an old message was read instead of the one that was desired to be read. In case anyone reading this hasn't read my entire previous article, we are running Elm 2.2 PL0 in a Sys V mail environment. Thanks in advance for any help. -- ====================================================================== Marv Yount (yountm@gtephx) UUCP: {ncar!noao!asuvax | uunet!zardoz!hrc}!gtephx!yountm AG Communication Systems, Phoenix
