OK, I found your message. How about this.. of course not everyone will notice that message either. But at the same place, where it says how many messages, if it ISN'T showing all, add the text: Go to View menu to see ALL messages. And NOT have that message there if you are seeing all messages. Or "you are now seeing X out of y Messages". -- Barbara Needham
