[imp] MAPI Request: <opaque data> ?

Gentleman  I think i am on to something.  I'm not sure if this is only on
*my* windows machine or if its wide-spread.

Win98-SE and IE.5.5  seems to be sending packets to the imp server after the
link/page has loaded (perhaps delayed/timed)  Subsequently i can keep
loading imp links as many times as i wish with very good success. But! if i
happen to click on an imp link while those (lets say 'delayed packets')-are
coming thru... the user is served "page can not be displayed"

These trailing packets (as close as i can determine)  *only* have the [reset
flag= set] all other flags in that packet are *not* set.
-
My method for finding this is running a sniffer while in a imp-session and
watching the traffic as i click the links.  Then waiting for traffic to
slow/stop as close to when i think those rst packets are coming.  When i see
the first -reset packet- i click a link and get the -error page-  if i click
a link during any other time  the link loads just fine.

I have not seen any MAPI request return as yet but, i am willing to bet they
are coming from windows.
