>I tried a new message to the VFP forum, but with an upper case title. I received a warning message on it, but the post returned only the header with no mesaage body. This was the behavior I saw earlier.

Basically, the transmission is cut. This is why you are having such weird behavior. This seems to be related to a bad connection. This is why I wanted to know if you could do a test from another network. If you could VPN to another PC and try from another route, that would tell us more about the issue.
