In case you reply or forward a message, TB will automatically put in the field the message ID of the message you reply to (or you forward) and the IDs of the other messages which have been in the 'References' header of the message you reply to (or you forward). -- Best regards, Cyrille mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] [ TB! 2.11.02, Windows ME 4.90 Build 3000, Pentium 233Mhz with 95MB ] Current version is 2.11.02 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

I hit Reply to create a reply message and actually changed the subject field to read This is only a test Then I displayed the View option menu of the message itself and no Follow-up menu selection was offered. Oh well ... not a biggy to me as I can always just create a new message with new subject field content, but what Greg described seemed a very handy, dandy thing to learn to do ... but, alas, I have failed ... to comprehend something or ... Follow-up is not an option with The Bat! Version 2.0 AFAICT. A That should help. You should find it there somewhere on the menu.
