Huh. I looked in bugzilla, but didn't see this. Of course, I didn't look under Bonobo...glad to hear that it is being worked on, though. >> Why does a new composer window have to be spawned every time?

But, sending a message closes the composer window! SO you're saying that I should just open a blank window and keep it around whilst I do subsequent composings? However, that doesn't really help, either. The delay time is now 2-2.5 seconds instead of 3-5. <shrug> Thanks for the idea anyway. _________________________________________________ Donald A.
