I am sorry you have been inconvenienced by the mis-behavior of the program.

>I installed Version 1.02 of Techmail for Windows on Tuesday. Since then I

> 1) General Protection Faults randomly. They seem to be in different
>regions and I have not documented them all, but one occurs in techmail.exe
>at 0001:680C. I get a GPF about one third of the time I use techmail.
> 2) I get Hesiod errors almost every time I use Techmail. I spoke with
>the network help line yesterday and the consultant and I played with my
>get-mail user preferences. It is set up with eagle.mit.edu as the default,
>and all three boxes are checked. My post-office is po6.mit.edu; it works
>if I specify that, but the consultant says that I should not have to.
