[pmmail-list] Major surprise - blank messages

[Phil Morgan]

Since this morning, I was able to find the problem (as Steve Eickhoff
suggested here)  in the absence of any Temp directory under the PMMail
directory.  Sorry to hear that your "odyssey" was so much more time
consuming and frustrating.  Sounds like your problem was different (and
far worse) from mine.  If the temp directory hadn't done it, I would've
been headed down the "uninstall" road you took ....

Thanks for the information, tho'
