e-Groundhog Day

So the first time I received armb's comment on my post of yesterday, it was interesting. The second time, I saw it in my inbox I assumed lj had hiccups. When I received the same three emails from the 53 pending on the server, I realised that my life had stuck. When I got armb's email for the seventh time (or so)--the format of the sender and title make 'em easy to spot--I went and deleted the persistent three from the [insert ISP here] server. This created a new loop. So I killed that one, zapped the spam, and some of the messages I was only going to skim and then delete. I've been shepherding the messages through ever since--one by one--seeing them into my local inbox, zapping them on the server, repeat ad nauseum--with no real clue as to what's going wrong. I'm ready to believe that there's something up on the PC--it is obsolete and with an unsupported OS--but I think it may not be in this case.

With the entire list of messages reappearing in the inbox on the web interface to the ISP at least once, I may never escape from today. If I don't, well. it's been fun... ;-)
