Okay. I've run a test with all the messages set to "Show in List. Here's
the results (forgive any line wraps)

----
Reading /home/Raven/mail/outbox...
Sorting mailbox...

Message delivery problem, placing it in your outbox. System will attempt to
redeliver the message until you delete it.
Mailbox is unchanged.

The long pause with a quantity of modem activity occurs after the message
about the recipient is issued. I know that the ISP isn't limiting me, as I
can send this file with Spruce (but it can't do a *bunch* of other things
balsa can do ;)  )

Is there any other way I can give you more detailed messages? Or do you
want to know what my system configuration is? Let me know.
