Scratch everything I said. I must have been mistaken. I'm *still* seeing the weird 'Sender' column problem. But *only* in my inbox... every other folder looks fine. I tried every combination of things in the Copies&Folders section but to no avail (and I even tried not clicking anything). It all still gives me the problem. And just so you know, I never had any thing set to my inbox like you originally suggested. Somebody please help me! :) -chris -- Chris Jones My pid is Inigo Montoya.
