[X-Newbies] Bizarre Email Behavior

Another thing that bothers me (besides the fractured name of this  
list that no one has changed in years, OY!) is that X has become so  
complicated that no one can be bothered talking about simple  
problems. Sort of like users of Windows used to be compared to when  
we had Mac Classic.

Does anyone have an idea why my mail program does this? It's very  
bizarre. In the past someone would come up with an answer, almost  
immediately. Has no one ever seen this  problem?
