Steve, I've encountered a View! oddity. Someone on the MIDI Forum suggested adding ;oldm to get around the new CIS MAIL prompt. I added it in parameters, saved it, then went to read some already collected messages. Every time I tried to change forums with the pull-down menu, View! would guru. I went back and deleted ;oldm, and everything was back to normal. Since I understand you and Jim are working on an update, it is only a temporary problem. But I'd be curious to know if you can reproduce it. Lee

Yes, I can reproduce it as well as some other oddities using ;OLDM. Until the update is ready (both Jim and I are putting finishing touches on it) I'd suggest you use ;OLDM only when you want to get email — just go into Edit Parameters and add it, then click on USE rather than SAVE. It is a bother but there was no way to test the changes before they went into effect.

Steve, No problem. Looking forward to the update. Lee

I encounterd the same problem, only I did not make the connection with ;OLDM. Daaaaaaa, do I feel stupid….. Mike

Mike, It always seems obvious once you know. Before I realized, I was envisioning all sorts of nasty causes. :') Lee
