OK, thanks for that. However, I find your expectation on behavior to be quite unreasonable and illogical. Do you then also propose that if you make edits and press the send button, what is actually sent should not be what you see in the outgoing message window at the time (the edited version), but what was saved before that? If so, why? If not, why? You're asking from the user that he/she should remember that a message is opened, among many others that may be that at the time, when PM very easily could handle the problem and alert the user and put him/her back in control. If I present this on any mailing list that concerns itself with development of interfaces and functionality I'm sure I'd get close to 100% siding with me on how such functionality should work in order to be consistent and fulfilling user expectancy. You want me to try that? PM 5.2.1 | OS X 10.3.9 | Powerbook G4/400 | 768MB RAM | 30GB HD
