Hello,

I am developing a mass mailing / mail merge program in C# using Indy 10
for .Net. Everything is working perfectly except for small problem
that I have just been ignoring for a while now.

The first time I initialize a message in my program (i.e.
Indy.Sockets.Message msg = new Indy.Sockets.Message()) there is a long
delay. However, all messages that are created after this first one do
not have the delay. It is really frustrating.

I thought maybe it was just a bug in my program, but I created a simple
test application that shows the same results.

Here is what I did to test it. I created a C# Windows application with
one button and one richtextbox. In the onClick event of the button I
put the following code:

this.Cursor = Cursors.WaitCursor;

DateTime start = DateTime.Now;
Indy.Sockets.Message msg = new Indy.Sockets.Message();
DateTime end = DateTime.Now;

TimeSpan s = new TimeSpan(end.Ticks - start.Ticks);

richTextBox1.Text =
richTextBox1.Text.Insert(richTextBox1.Text.Length,s.Milliseconds.ToString()+"n");

this.Cursor = Cursors.Default;

The first time you click the button, it takes about 5 seconds (although
it displays only ~600 ms) for the Indy.Sockets.Message msg = new
Indy.Sockets.Message() to finish, but in all the subsequent clicks of
the button it is basically instantaneous.

Has anyone else experienced this problem or know how to solve it?

Thanks,
Blake
