[Shotimes] OT-Help with e-mail problem

[Donald Mallinson]

OK, I need some help from the SHO computer geeks out there.

A couple of weeks ago, I got an e-mail that I could not 
delete.  Then another problem:

I would not be able to see any of the content on some known 
good messages in my inbox from the list and others.  If I 
would click on those messages, I would get either a blank or 
the last message I looked at.  When I went back to those, 
they would be blank.

Virus maybe?  I have Norton up to date, and it says no.

For a while I could get rid of those "blank" messages but 
that original message was still there.  I could hit delete, 
and that one message would go to the trash bin, and I could 
empty the bin and it would be gone from there.  Next time I 
go to my inbox, the message is back, and indicated as unread.

It also has a date on it now of 12-31-69, and I know the 
message came in a month ago.

It used to be I could eventually delete all the destroyed 
messages and clean up the inbox, but the last time this 
happened, the blank messages (with their subject lines 
intact) just won't delete now, leaving a cluttered inbox.

Also sometimes I can call up the messed up messages and 
there will be a huge amount of clutter, and the original 
message.  Wish I had printed one of those out, I can't seem 
to get it to do that again.

I tried copying the contents of the inbox to another file to 
  see what happened, but only about 1/2 the messages went 
over, the bad ones didn't go.

Anyone have a clue?  Please reply directly to me unless you 
feel the reply would help others.
