Hi Nicole, Are you saying you had Ichat set up to automatically read incoming messages as we've discussed on the list? Or are you saying you've got the problem interacting with the html area? I never knew about the auto-reading until the interaction crash problem came up. And I have found that the incoming messages are now reading just fine for me, thanks to the explanations from the folks about how to set up that capability in Ichat.
