texte = Dear Smith Micro,Please make sure that in the next release of WebCatalog that the triggers work correctly on Macintosh computers.Currently, only triggers on our NT system work as expected.On the Mac OS, on Jan. 1 a trigger that sends email started to trip every minute clogging my email and that of some others (Sorry Bob) with a few thousands of pieces of email. I had to delete the trigger to stop the flood.Now, a day after Leap Day, four other triggers started tripping as fast as they could generating over 40,000 email files from Midnight last night until shortly after 9 am. I have deleted the runaway triggers. They could not be turned off. I have deleted the yet unsent email -- over 300 megabytes of files. And I have apologized to our effected clients, some of whom are patiently dealing with the thousand of emails that were sent.Generally, triggers do not work correctly on the Mac. When they do work, they are uncontrollable and an extreme nuisance. Triggers Suck!Thank you for listening to my complaint. I'd greatly appreciate it if you could track down these problems and solve them.Sincerely, Paul _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/|\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ _/_/_/Paul Uttermohlen, Interactive Ink, Inc._\_\_ \_\_\_\_ _/_/_/ mailto:paul@ims1.com - Website Development \_\_\_\_ _/_/_/ Business -
