This has been happening to me as well, and I finally discovered (almost) what it is. There is some peculiar key combination that, when typed, causes the deliver button to develop that funny triagle around it without changing the NeXT / non-NeXT button to NeXTmail. I don't know what the key is, but I have hit it accidentally several times. (Bad ergonomics!) Fix: Check the mailbox icon on the deliver button before you send. If it has the triangle, press the NeXT / non-NeXT button twice, and it will go away. -Anthony
