As for whether the OP should upgrade I was using the last of the V4.* releases for years. I suffered fairly regular corruption of message bases, shown when I used the "Maintenance Centre" facility. I also suffered the odd total crash of TB! when a message with either something in the headers it disliked, or some facet of my filtering it disliked, occurred. These all seem resolved in 5.8.8 and I have no regrets at all about updating. I paid an update fee and went from V4.* Professional to V5.8.8 Home, as I didn't really need the extras of the Pro version. I will hold off going to V6.* until it's a lot more mature. -- Chris Wilson "Using The Bat! v5.8.8 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 3" -- ________________________________________________ Current version is 5.2.2 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
