And it just happens I was in Canada for 3 weeks, and one of my mail 
accounts wasn't forwarded.  And I already had enough mail (from the 
other account) that I didn't even notice!

Maybe after my final exams are done.  They're supposed to start next 
week or so.

Disable CoRRE at the server end for AT&T WinVNC, and RRE at the 
server or client end for VNCThing.  Although I don't know whether the 
new version of VNCThing has fixed that bug.
