   It would help if you could compile in debug mode, with symbols present in the   
   compiled executable, but it seems to come from these lines:   
      
   Line 238 in msgmsg.c:   
     Delete(config.netPath, "*."MBEXTB);   
     if (*config.pmailPath)   
       Delete(config.pmailPath, "*."MBEXTB);   
      
   Could it be you haven't set the netmail path directory for instance?   
      
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
