Frank, thanks for your response. The symptoms I've experienced would be
consistent with an incompatibility with Outlook Express. Prior to March of
this year, I was running Outlook 98 (downloaded during the period in 1998
when Microsoft was offering it for free), and never seemed to have this
problem. In March, I had a major system crash, and had to reinstall all my
software. At that time, I downloaded Outlook Express 5 (and Internet
Explorer 5.5), and the TMG problem started happening shortly after that.

Perhaps I've missed it, but is there a known release date for TMG 5.0? If
it's going to be a while, is there any chance of Wholly Genes issuing a fix
prior to 5.0?
