Thanks for the pointers Rick. I just did that. I use gmail but I read my messages using Outlook 2007. In gmail I can read every message in the batch in one message, but in Outlook I have to open each message separately to read them (a nuisance). However in Outlook I can reply to a specific message and change the subject line and in gmail that is not possible. Obviously I will need to read them in Outlook in order to change the subject line if necessary.
A conundrum! I was actually a member of ProFox years ago, but I ran into a busy period when I couldn't keep up with the messages so I stopped it for awhile and then moved and forgot all about it! Just as you said, the recent post reminded me of Profox. I was very happy to see it is still a great service to the community and very active.

(...and I'm speaking about the [OT] side of things, where "reason" or "common sense" seems to be lost sometimes, or you get people not from your country telling you how things really are in your country or how they're more educated about your homeland and its politics/religions than you are. <g>) --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --- _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
