Just a quick FYI, but I am out of the office the next two weeks taking some vacation. Also, my mail client (Mac Mail), has decided to crash every time I open it which makes it a little difficult to check email.
So, the sum of the two is that I probably won’t have access to (or be checking) email until early January 2007.

Merry Cristmas Mike..
Hold down shift while you start up mail. I just had the exact same problem. Happy Holidays!
