Title: Why does WebPine often flash a little box that I can't read? Question: Sometimes when WebPine is open, I notice a little white box open, but it closes before I can read it. What's going on? Answer: The mysterious little box you're noticing is a part of the WebPine program. The box appears when WebPine checks the server for new messages. Sometimes the check may be quick enough that you don't notice the extra box, but lengthier checks may happen if the server is busy or new mail is detected.
