Well, welcome Bill. Glad to see you join us here. You've found quite a few
on your own. I have a somewhat larger collection of bugs and "discrepancies"
I'll fish out and post again. For the moment, DON'T try
resend theMsg without opening window
or
set current identity to identity "Anything"
because they both crash Entourage and/or computer.
I'll get you the complete list a little later (I posted it once for Allen a
couple of weeks ago, and hope I didn't trash my own message.)
