Interesting.
Not that I care all that much, since browsing FT via email is about the least efficient method of keeping on top of FT, but it does seem odd that it was working for so many years and then just quit. It seems to me that if it was a core VB issue, it seems like it would have never worked at all, although I suppose the interplay of a number of factors could have intersected to trigger the failure.
Maybe it's time for a VB upgrade for FT.
