Subject:	SCOUG-General: RE: Mail Filters)

Content Type: text/plain

Folks,
I'm surprised that this note showed up. Yesterday, I upgraded to
Mozilla 1.7.8 (after Ray D. helped me get it working). Each time I
started it, I got a window asking if I wanted to send "unsent" mail.
Several time, I clicked "Don't Send". I looked at the folder labeled
"Unsent", and it showed as being empty. I didn't notice that there is
also a folder labeled "Unsent Messages".

Finally, thinking I didn't have any unsent messages, I clicked "Send",
and this arrived in my inbox a few minutes later. I think it is about 2
- 3 months out of date.

Mozilla 1.4 wasn't asking me about sending unsent stuff, making it easy
to ignore and forget that I had any. I guess that, really, the "odd
behavior" is mine.
