our server gurus read your note and said not true. They say if you do not open the e-mail and delete it plus delete it from TRASH it isn't there to hurt you. One doesn't download e-mail by simply noting that it has appeared in the queue. Now I am only repeating since I personally believe that computers are actually run by tiny green men that appear only on March 17th, get a bottle of heavy brew and return to my machine to wreak havoc.
