cc:Mail: Not OK

A BYTE editor found this interesting dialog when attempting to read new e-mail using cc:Mail 2.01 under Win 95. After the editor logged in, cc:Mail announced that he had new mail. When the editor attempted to read the new e-mail, the dialog message shown appeared. When he attempted to close the dialog box, he got the dreaded ringing-bell error sound. Clicking on another application minimized the dialog, and attempting to read cc:Mai l caused another instance of the same error message. Now bells were ringing in stereo. The quick-and-dirty solution: Close cc:Mail and all other applications, reboot, and try again. The next time, everything worked as expected.
