Regarding my post of two days ago asking why I receive some messages in duplicate, usually withing a minute or two of each other. I think I have noticed a pattern. The messages that are doubled are the ones that have that "multi-part message in mime format" line at the beginning (and I always thought I had a gift for alliteration). Also, an AOL techie told me that email gets leap-frogged over the world through many servers, and, in fact, it is possible that a message you may send from your computer to your neighbor may actually be routed through Tibet or something. Anyway, it is possible that an AOL (or non-AOL) server somewhere out there in the Ethernet Jungle is a bit obsessive-compulsive and is duplicating stuff. But, of course, my AOL tech people have been wrong before, like when one talked my husband (who can barely turn it on correctly) through starting our pc in DOS mode and deleting important files which rendered my computer unable to open AOL at all, so take this explanation with a grain of salt.
