According to google Linda Howard is also a novelist...

Maybe this is a sideline?

yea, i'm stuck with the same crappy (1) too. can't open or read the message* so the counter won't reset.

*edit should clarify that it doesn't even appear in my inbox so there's nothing to click. LOL

I got it, at least I got the notification and 3 instead of 2 messages.

God life's so exciting 

Its been the highlight of my week, getting a spam message that I cant see and now having a "1" next to my inbox

Perhaps I need to get out more

I also have the (1) and no message to delete.

Does that make me one of the cool kids?
