the SMTP option in the optigold because all of the sudden I got some error
<unknown> comming up while sending meials, I thouth it was not finding the
SMTP program or something or this telnet program, but in any event as it
turned out somehow this unknown was the email address that optigold somehow
failed to deliver to the SMTP, so I turned on the MAPI to send invoice and
strange thing, invoice is sent with correct format, meaning I get the
carriage returns and al the spaces and tabs, but the past due letter is sent
without carriage returns or tabs, just one word after another. Very strange.
I think I will have to reinstall the OS and hopefully win nt will start from
scratch and will have the problem corrected. Maybe I just got to much in it
and it again decided to do weird things.
