What he wants is a true "absolute" default; a window position that is always remembered regardless of where the current window happens to be placed. For example, he wants his incoming messages to appear, say, at the edge of the folder pane in a 2-pane view. He opens a reply window and staggers that over a couple of inches. He then closes the program and reopens it. If a true "absolute" default could be defined, his next open incoming message window will again be at the edge of the folder pane, NOT where the last window to be opened was (a couple of inches over). BTW, I too use a 2-pane view as I find it more useful to me. I too would like to set certain window position defaults: one for incoming, one for outgoing,... I also have the same complaint about Eudora, so it's not just PM. I know that it is a minor thing compared to the purpose of the program but still... While we're on the topic of program defaults, I continue to want to *automatically* tie specific signatures to specific recipients on outgoing mail. Don't suggest filters as they only work AFTER the mail goes out, not before and scripts are just too cumbersome for this task. It seems to me that it should simple enough to add a "sig" field to the recipient's address book record, assuming a database structure. -- Tim Lapin [EMAIL PROTECTED] G4/AGP/400 OS 10.2.8 PowerMail 4.2.1 384 MB RAM 40+10 GB HDs
