Kurt - the headers say you are using "Windows Mailer" - is that Outlook,
or is this some new Vista thing? If you identify your mailer, perhaps
someone here knows how to set it up.
I'm afraid I don't use Windows these days, and I always used Thunderbird
on Windows, so I'm not the guy who will know this for your program.
