Hi Bill,

thanks a lot for the tip! I just returned from vacation and found this
really useful hint while scanning tons of mail ...

Netscape also used to crash on my machine with the aforementioned
symptoms. In addition to that, when composing a new mail and typing the
recipient's address, it always got auto-expanded with *my* domain (i.e.
no lookup in the address book as expected). Both problems are gone now
after I've deleted the bad lines from the two files that you described
above.

Definitely no WOB ...! :-)

Thanks again & regards,
Markus
