Mark,

Thanks. It is still a puzzle. I use one computer but two accounts, however,
both klarinet and charette mails were sent via pop.compuserve.com. Is it
them I should inform of the DNS issue? I have occasionally noticed random
failures in emails which worked OK on a resend.

Hope this gets through... sending it to your personal address too.

Keith
