Error during command authentication.

Error - unable to initiate communication with LISTSERV (errno=10061, phase=CONNECT, target=127.0.0.1:2306). The server is probably not started.

On a "rainy day" in October last year, I resuscitated Cyberdog to 
convert some of my oldest mail to Eudora mailbox format (I used 
MailConverter 2.2.4). I thought that might be my oldest Macscrpt 
mail, but apparently I was using Eudora before that. Of course, I 
have messages from 1904, 1928, and 1956, and a few from Walter dated 
1976 (actually 1996) but the oldest legitimate date in my archive is 
January 22, 1995. Fred Terry helped me unsubscribe when I changed 
ISPs in late 1996. My oldest AppleScript is dated February 7, 1994. 
As I remember, it was supposed to delete certain text boxes in 
QuarkXPress based on their contents. Mostly, it just crashed Quark... 
Before joining this list, I remember reading the Quark scripting 
message board on AOL. Seems a lifetime ago.
