The reason for this is that those 'values' do not get saved until we 'submit' the form by pressing either the "Send Now" button or the "Save to Outbox" button. When we change from the mail comopse screen to any other screen. (wheater it be the external editor, the edit help screen or whatever else) The form has not yet been submitted. Therefore the new values in those fields have not been saved. At this time: There is no 'workaround' to fix this. key words.... 'at this time'. ;-) -- Glenn http://arachne.cz/ http://www.delorie.com/listserv/mime/ http://www.cisnet.com/glennmcc/ http://www.cisnet.com/glennmcc/aqc/
