You appear to be very knowledgeable about Apple's mail program. I have two major irritating issues that I hope you might be able to help with. (I understand that this is NOT your line of work, but, I'm hoping.) 1-Why does mail periodically and repeatedly ask for my password? I've let mail 'remember' it for next time. These episodes may be days or weeks apart. After several times of telling it my password again, it's ok, until the next time. Mine is a POP account with comcast.net. I also have a .mac account which is very rarely used at this time. 2-I manage the mailing list for the website I run for my town's Environmental Commission (above). This list has nearly 200 names on it but I cannot e-mail all of them at once. I have resorted to breaking the list up into segments no larger than 70 individuals. This seems to work. But if I try to e-mail all 200 at once, it seems to overload the system and I am offered the option to edit or delete the message (and the addressees, apparently). Any ideas? Can mail NOT handle such large mailings? Thanks so much for any help you might provide. Rich Wolfert I just came across your very interesting website.
