Email scanning should be turned off in any anti-virus. Also exclude EML
files from the scan. It provides no protection not provided by the
regular resident protection.
Besides that, McAfee and Norton are not compatible with Windows Mail and
Outlook Express and should be uninstalled. The latest version of
Trend's
anti-virus seems to be causing problems too.

Thanks Frank but that and much more was covered multiple times on XP help
and support at beginning of problem

And how would Frank or anyone else know this?

They would not, nor should they as it is NOT the subject of this thread but
a reply to a question from Sinner.
