You're exactly correct. Sending on the second run (AFTER the pop3 check)
will work (as it should). I was just wondering if it was possible to get it
to work on the first run with this authentication thing from Microsoft in
Outlook/Outlook Express. Probably not though - Anyone actually know what
Microsoft's software is actually looking for/trying to do?
