I also read William's reply stating that a couple of other MM users have
reported problems. I wonder if your other user who experienced trouble
also had "1/2" in a message header?

I used MM/XT for a while with WC4, and had no problems. That was about
10 MM versions ago, though; and it's possible that this bug may also be
isolated to the Windows version (if it's not traceable to WC).

Well, I hope that between you, you guys can squash the little critter;
by the sounds of it, though, it may be pretty elusive...
