>I have WWIPStuff sending email successfully UNLESS there is no internet connection live when I send my first email. If the connection is lost after one email is sent I get the correct error message. However if there is no connection when the first email goes out the whole program stalls. Time for Task Manager (which says it is "Not Responding") to close it.

I've run into this as well, but found that it is just waiting to time out. I wish I knew the answer but...

I attempteed to write a generic IsConnected() function to use before making any internet dependent moves, but got frustrated after half a days work and learneed later from Ed that the function in WinInet.dll that is supposed to tell this is broken, and almst always returns true (connected). This is what we need, IMHO- a generic IsConnected() function.
