From: Randall Allen on
Well, AVG has been gone since my last post, but the problem is coming
back. I get intermittent errors saying Eudora can't write a file, but
it seems to get past it on the next effort. I suspect AVG was
consuming a little time and Eudora was timing out when trying to write
temporary files. It is occasionally doing it again and I have no idea
what the reason could be. Does anyone know of any I/O timeout
parameters that may be adjusted?
