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

[rich northouse]

Rich,

Midwest -- Milwaukee, WI

My machine hung up again this morning.  It appears that the MAIL 
program tries to complete its task, such as connecting to my provider 
and during this phase, nothing seems to effect it.  Unplugging from the 
AC source a clear exception.  One just has  to wait for the MAIL 
program to "timeout" from its effort -- than you can abort or use the 
"Quit Mail" command.

Any body have any ideas??
