I see your point of view. I have no strong feelings either way.

IMHO this is a Ritlabs internal Beta! Not for public :(

The latest release is supposed to be version 3.80.6, yet the first one
listed is v. 3.81.01. Is that a beta?

My understanding is that while -ize is standard in the US, in most
cases in the UK it is merely an "acceptable" alternative to the
usual -ise form. (I repeat my previous comment that to whom it is
"acceptable" has never been clear.)

I can see an argument for supporting a spelling that is standard
one side of the pond and "acceptable" the other side...

> Harrap's Dictionary of English Usage

Never heard of it.

> Times change.

Yes, when I was very young it was trendy and modern to use -ise.
-ize was still about but generally going out of fashion.

Throughout my school/college career -ize generally cropped up only
in old or American texts (except for some reason in the past
tense, -ized was much in evidence).

A couple of decades later and -ize has gained in popularity once
more. I remain convinced this is due to dodgy spell-checkers.  ;-)

Thomas Fernandez waved a wand then said : '

Hi ...
I suppose, that I should have made a reference to that option in my
first post. You see, I already have that checked for sizes over 50k on
emails.

I would prefer to narrow THAT option down to some specific criteria
and have the filter choose to trash or send to me. I get tired of the
lack of automation available to that particular "List" to which I
(did) belong.

It's become tedious to see twenty of those [Large Message] emails. TB!
is all about clever automation, templates, Sorting Office Filters and
the like.

Anyway, lacking the ability in TB!, I unsubscribed from the otherwise
enjoyable list.
