I was going to try that this morning, but I think I've got all the
things I wanted to do done, so I won't bother. Thanks anyway.

There were a thing or two I still hadn't gotten set right , So I went
back and did as you suggested. It was quick and easy, and all is well
now. That's what I should have done in the first place, but somehow
forgot to do--probably because before starting with Agent again, I
used Thunderbird for a while.

Thanks again.

You're welcome. I'm glad things are working again as you want them.

Truthfully, though, I was almost as glad when you confirmed that you
*had* a backup. I am a big believer in backups, and I'm appalled at
the number of people who never take one.
