Actually, I think this is one Michael may be able to fix with little or
no problem.
I don't know if any of you remember, or ran across the problem, of being
called away from a message you were writing, having the screen saver
activiate, and when you come back and move mouse/hit key to end screen
saver you discover everything you wrote was GONE! That was with l.4x
and maybe one of the 1.5x, and then Michael fixed it.
I guess he rewrote core.exe to save the text field somewhere before the
screen saver was allowed to take over the screen.
If he could set it up so that *any* leaving of the editor -- other than
"Send mail NOW" or "Save to OUTBOX[F2]" or "Cancel" -- would save the
editor screen in the same way, we could go back, or go to hotlist or
whatever, and return to find what we had written was still there.
Michael, can you change that code from IF THEN to some sort of
IF NOT THEN [move from screen saver code to mail editor section?]
and have it cover all activity in editor????
If you can, I think that would solve a lot of the problems.
l.d.
