Hi Hazen,

Were you previously able to run this setup reliably or did you just set
it up? Are you running PMMail over a network on a shared HPFS drive or
are you running it under Win2K on a local HPFS drive?  If you are using
a local HPFS drive, what driver are you using to access the HPFS
partition?  I seem to remember that the old pinball.sys workaround
stopped working reliably with later service packs of WinNT and Win2k.
