The point I thought was obvious (but apparently wasn't) is that once I had done what I described in my email below is that my problem was solved!!!!!!!! Once I was able to isolate the bad message from everything else, then I was home free. I did not delete the bad stuff because I still may play with it to try to find out what is different about it. As a little background, I receive a "Tip of the Day" every day from this source and it has only been this one that has caused me grief. I contacted the owner of the list and he said nobody else complained - but this message will crash both of my machines. Very strange!!!! You suggested to "delete the second folder [refer to director.frm to see which one it is] when Juno is not running" but I don't know why you specified "when Juno is not running." It is easier to delete a folder thru Juno by "File/Delete Folder" and I can look at director.frm while Juno is running. On my other computer (W95) it doesn't let me open director.frm when Juno is running so I just copy and paste it and look at the copy. I have no idea why the 2 systems are different in that way. Both are V4.11 but one is W98SE and the other W95. Thanks for all your help and head scratching :^) Don Elias On Tue, 22 Oct 2002 08:57:13 -0700 thepccat@xxxxxxxx writes: > > You now have a folder of good messages and a second one with only the bad > one.
