I'm using the 24h time setting, so the time suffix fields are clear by default. Just for good measure, I tried removing them from the 12h time setting also, and then going back to 24h. Doesn't seem to have made any difference. Peculiar. Also, I don't understand why the date in my attribution line shows up as "01.2.2" even though my short date in the D&T control panel is set to YY-MM-DD with hyphens and leading zeros, e.g., 01-02-02. What I would _really_ like (given the terseness and potential ambiguity of the YY-MM-DD format) is an attribution line where the date and time would be given using the medium-length format, like this: [On] Thu, 01 Feb 2001 23:16:59 +0100 [Thomas . . .] This is how they appear after "Date:" when I select "short header-style attribution lines," so obviously Entourage is capable of generating them in this format; it just won't let me use it where I want to! For the lists of received messages, of course, the shorter format (e.g., 01-02-01 00:42 +0100) would be preferable, since in this context terseness is a virtue and ambiguity not a problem. Ah, well . . . thanks for the thought. __ Jeremy Whipple <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Setagaya-ku, Tokyo P.S.
