Are you sure you haven't missed the first call that starts the Courier side mission? I remember(BOTH on PC AND PS2) how when you get the first call it automatically puts you in a mission and does not give the option to reply Yes OR No to it... [...]

I've never had that occur, automatically that is.
but he says other save points exist.

It does the very first time you get a call about the Courier side missions...the first time however, it won't let you choose Yes or No, so it automatically puts you on a mission so to speak-as you can still do missions, you just can't save for a while...However, any time you get a call after that, you have the option to choose No and not have to worry about it...

I believe there is something wrong with your game.
The First call explains the mission. It doesn't start it. I've over 85 game plays, and never has either of the Ya courier missions (M/c or Patriot) ever forced itself.
I've accidently accepted it, but never an Automatic start.
Are you sure one of your mods hasn't affected the game play? Maybe you should try it again?

That must be it. I had got about 38 photos when Cesar called and told me about the yay shipment. CJ replies with something like 'Ok, I'll keep an eye out for 'em' Thus the reason for the missing save point. Technically CJ is on an activated mission. Gee that's weird! Thanks for the help guys

The question remains: Is this Automatic or a fumble?

Anyone remember the experience?

I'm pretty sure that on mine the first call regarding those courier missions tells you how it works (an explanation). You then will later get a call and then have the option to complete the missions or decline it (like I normally do).

That's just on my PS2 version anyway, I can't speak for PC users.

On my ps2 v2 disc, Cesar makes a call explaining about the yay going back to Smoke and CJ replies 'Ok I'll keep an eye out for 'em' maybe lil weasel you missed the call by going straight into another mission. It's happened to me like that on occasion. Then the normal call that Cesar makes about the yay leaving San Fierro gives CJ the choice y/n

UPDATE: (PC) I just finished the Photo Op mission. Before CJ could leave the Gas Station he got the call from Cesar about Courier leaving Los Santos. For the First Time this mission started without the chance to refuse it. So I chased the Patriot in San Fierro. After the mission failed. I got a second call from Cesar, this time to chase the Motorcycle. I was able to refuse this one.
I've never before (80+ games) received the first call in Angel Pine.

I Actually finished the storyline missions without doing the courier side mission!I never bothered really,They are optional but I think they are required for 100%.

I Got the call (If I recall correctly) in san fierro first.

I got call yesterday in chain game and I wasn't able to refuse it too. BTW Master of San Andreas they are not required for 100% completion, it doesn't even count as mission attempt.

Good because they were so annoying and you had to go into Gorve ST with ballas shooting @ You

[0909090]

I only do them to acquire BP/FP/EP Patriot, otherwise it's very poor money-making not worth to do it.

Yay now you know, maybe you just never realised that 1st mission before? Cause when I did I said to myself 'hmm that's strange. Don't get to choose negative response the 1st one'

[lil weasel]

I was thinking it's the unusal place, Angel Pine. I've almost always been at the Doherty Garage when that First call came in, and have always been able to decline. Plus, it being on the 'patriot' day before it was always to chase the cycles. Especially odd, was I got the Second Call almost immediately.
