It's just that they may take a long time to implement what you in particular may wish for or they may take a while to implement a feature depending on their perceived priority for implementing when compared with other feature requests. Most of all, they've been implementing a lot of features depending on the ease with which it can be done, and how feasible or productive it would be doing so with the present code when there's plan for an almost total rewrite. It should be interesting to see how things evolve once version two appears since they listen. If they don't seem to be listening there's usually a reason. The problem is at times we have to press to get a response which I don't think is a good thing. - -- Allie C Martin \ TB! v1.62/Beta5 WinXP Pro (SP1) List Moderator/ PGP Key - http://pub-key.ac-martin.com -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.0 (Win32) - GPGshell v2.60 iD8DBQE9nCH4V8nrYCsHF+IRAoUCAKDPSEPzBms0jy3gkclQyXp4shP2owCg2/HE Wak2qhCUGFcZ8nHxcaX1Xws= =A0X5 -END PGP SIGNATURE- Current version is 1.61 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

No, I was thinking more of posts where perhaps part of the subject line is a number or date, and that's all that change, or where the first couple of words will be constant and the next two change.

Ok, your view taken. However, this may not be shared by others. I've personally used the option. :) CS How often do you write emails with exactly the same subject CS line? Rarely. It's also not often that I'm typing a subject and the auto-complete kicks in.

The ideal thing would be to make it optional, but getting around it is, IMO so trivial, that I'd more go for directing the developers attention to other more important things.

Now use the cursor keys to navigate to entries you no longer wish to keep and delete them by pressing the Del key. To completely delete all histories, you can delete the ACCOUNT.HIS file in the MAIL/(Account) folder.
