yep..MS rage will do strange things...sorry to hear it,Amos...at least Mudcat addresses will be fairly easy to replace. Hope it is as painless as possible to get replaced.

when you get it all replaced, as much as it can be, have more than one email program with addresses in it, even if you don't use it much. I have 3 email programs which I often use to download mail, but only Eudora is set to erase them from the server

(Or..even pasting email addys into a text program and saving it as a plain file will at least help...and possibly printing it out for the worst case scenerio)
