Hi Richard:

    So, I guess that *sending* both emails by my sendmail() function in my 
server somehow either ties up my CGI app, or ties up my Apache server 
software, and slows one or both down until my sendmail() function is 
completed.

    I'll have to find a way to somehow lower the priority of the sendmail so 
it doesn't slow things down.

Thanks for the comment.
