For what it's worth ... I read the earlier email from deloptes (and I hope 
that a solution has been found for Gene's email): I *do* have that option 
checked; yet I have no problems like Gene describes. 

If the issue is resolved, then I suppose this is a moot point; however, if the 
problem somehow returns, then this detail might be worth noting.
