Thanks Ed, I just found your message in Junk. I re-installed Thunderbird 
late yesterday and apparently I've got something in the filters sending 
messages to the wrong place! Viasat/Wildblue has changed our email 
server away from gmail, and I have been filtering some spam to junk ... 
I may have to switch back to gmail.

I'll try as you suggest and make note of it.

Bob
