Recently I set up a batch job to remind me of important events (via VMS MAIL) and then resubmit itself. Yes, you can see the GLARING error that I made -- I had not changed the trigger time and so the process went berserk and sent me 1638 mail messages before it crashed. Well, in a rush I deleted the mail out of my directory without reading it. Now, everytime I logon I have 1638 new mail messages. I cannot eradicate this "flag". I've tried deleting my mail directory, the "mail" itself (ie send myself new mail and then do a del/all within mail). I've even killed my UAF entry and regenerated......only to find 1638 mail messages waiting!!! So, where is this flag bit set and kept???? We have another account with the same problem (only 2 msgs however). This is driving me nuts! ;-) GRiM (mendi@netcom.com)
