I was beginning to suspect this since sometimes it only partially 
'draws' the email. I am considering trying another application. I 
really liked Netscape mail, don't like Outlook Express and have never 
tried Eudora. Those are the only ones I'm familiar with.

THAT'S IT! apparently there was an email on the server that was the 
cause of the problem. I deleted everything off the site and mail was 
happy again.

thanks for the help.
