I guess my question wasnt clear since I use neither Passport nor Messenger.
This is happening when I am using Internet Explorer. The problem seems to be
using certain websites - maybe a java script issue or something - Im not a
programmer. I just know I used to be able to add attachments to my email,
and now, when I select attachment, I am bumped out of my email and dumped
back to my in box. Also, on several websites, I often have to click twice as
the first time, nothing happens - except that weird clunking noise that I
generally associate with error messages - yet none appears.
In fact, on this web site, I am able to reply to a posting but can not start
a posting on my own - I get an incomplete drop down menu and select general
comment and again, nothing happens except the odd clunking noise.
