[Elecraft] Some OT help with a repeating email on this list

[David Cutter]

Hello Guy

Thanks for that run-down.

It never happens on the web access to my email and by the time I've loaded 
up the web page it's usually stopped replicating.  Anyway, these days it 
only replicates once and then not very often.  I felt sure it was some kind 
of timing problem and probably the laptop with some issue.  I updated the 
BIOS recently and it may have influenced things.

When it doesn't happen to everyone, it's not being sent multiple times
from source.

This leaves your ISP.  The best guess is mail processing software at
your node plus the processing time at your PC, with ISP's processing
probably having time-outs for certain activities, and your email plus
attached file is taking so long to come back and say I got it, delete
it, that it's doing the conservative thing, timing out and holding on
to it for another try.

If your ISP has a web read interface direct, then use it to delete a
duplicating file.  This will short cut some of the processing time and
allow the ISP to mark it off.  If this is happening on your ISP's web
interface, call the ISP, you can't fix it yourself.
