e-mail on linux box

[Michael Havens]

You know Cliff,
	That happened to mealso whe I first installed Linux, and it still does. Some 
messages would go and some won't. I found that if you just wait they will go 
eventually. If you are like me and are impatient get the message up on your 
screen and cclick the send message button again. It might not work right away 
but they will go. Or are you talking about something else?
