First, the getting you mail issue. Your email program is likely routing them to your junk email file unless you set your email program to recognize GW as a legit source of email. In other words, the problem is with your email set up, not on the GW end.

As to the broth, did it come up to pressure and was it processed for the full length of time? If so, it is safe. If your PC was leaking too much it would never get up to the needed pressure. The risk with leaking is that you will run out of water in the canner.

That said, you sure can reprocess it if you wish with no problems but yes you will need new lids.

You really need to address the leaking gasket problem though. They shouldn't leak steam at all. You most likely need a new gasket.

It's one of those weighted types, and it was jiggling. Does that indicate that it came up to pressure? Sorry for the dumb sounding questions. Oh, and yes, I did process it for the full length of time.

I have a Mac, and I don't even know where my junk folder might be! LOL! NOT very computer savvy. Anyway, I used to get my emails, and then it changed for no apparent reason. I'll have my son look at it.. he's much better at this stuff than I am.

Oh, and I'll contact Mirro about getting a new gasket. Thanks.

If it was jiggling/spitting/spinning whatever you want to call it at least 3-5 times a minute then yes it was up to pressure. Mirro gaskets are usually available at ACE hardware and several sources online as well.

The Junk mail folder is part of your email program - which ever one you use - not the computer. It is also called the Spam folder in some email programs. It is usually listed in the Menu of your email just like your Inbox.

Oh, thanks Dave. Now I know where to look for my emails AND my gasket. I appreciate your help.
