[G4] problem with the mail program in panther ...need a fix (cross listed)

[rich northouse]

Richard,

I have a very similar computer configuration, Quicksilver, 1.25 GB, 
Panther 10.3.9, and I have the same problem.

I have come to the conclusion that Mail is trying to fetch data from 
the net and is having difficulty. Because it is in the middle of this 
operation, it apparently will not release the system until it finishes. 
Even the three figure salute doesn't stop it. Powering down will 
because you are shutting down the net interface.  I am pretty sure that 
this is what is happening on my machine -- or some derivative of that.

So if I am correct, now the question is why can't it complete the net 
operation?  I use Road Runner on cable.
