TSGL: For H. Davis a test

Thu Jan 10 19:59:59 EST 2008

OK, I give up. This post by me was seen by me, yes, seen by me!!!

I am not asking why, only that it is possible that the settings for Gmail in 
my OE were corrupted. When I changed them, and then had to reset them, the 
post made it to my screen.

Anyone who wants to venture a guess, is welcome.

I thank you all for your input. It took an error message to clear things up, 
I think?
Oh well, I'll sleep well tonight.  Thanks.

ED
