Perhaps I have missed something obvious here. Not at all to argue but to 
try to understand you. When you say, "every Mail Action has that box 
checked..." did you mean that the log file window has a mail action done  
also?

All I see is a rather long list in a window that can be sorted by 
subject, date, etc, just like all the other windows. Not only that, but 
now I have to re-sort through them to find a certain person, subject, 
date, etc. Which was the whole reason I already separated them out into 
sub folders. 

Although I do understand how your volume and mine are in different 
leagues. I have been active on 6 - 12 lists at one time, plus getting 
correspondence and business. That is about the limitation of my speed to 
respond at the moment.

I have also relied on the nice Emailer finding feature when I wanted to 
find something I have forgotten. The other good trick is a good reason 
for keeping a callback label for a message that you know you really 
should address but just can't see a way to do it current time. Just a 
click on the left message status window and they come to the top of the 
list. Too bad the find procedure can't also find by specific priorities.

I looked through the Emailer prefs and I can't find anything about 
turning on HTML in Emailer? File sharing doesn't seem to fit and the 
Internet control panel sets up helpers but I don't think that is a 
problem here. I can command click on a url in Emailer and my browser, 
Opera, launches all right.

I am thinking, perhaps erroneously, that there are two types of HTML that 
Emailer separates out. One for actual web forms like Deltas weekly web 
fares, and another for HTML codes email messages. The commercial links 
used to work when double clicked so if they are really the same thing 
then I understand your point better and I can look around for how it is 
done.

But even so that is not my main point. My mom just won't take even that 
many steps. I am interested in making this all VERY easy. That was 
another reason I put her on Emailer.
