I'm not sure there's room for an abstract...I think it's more useful as a citation summary, but with a template you could do whatever you want. I've wanted something like this when I'm using the web group, so I can hide the detail preview and gain vertical space. It likely won't happen since Christiaan doesn't like it, and I don't feel like arguing about it. -- adam ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
