I meant, why didn't Maxim, especially, mention it, since he made a direct response to me--if that's how things are? I didn't mean you. :) I know how busy you are.

When I re-open a message from one of my Inbox folders, none of that text, whether in headers or message body, changes. It's still all the same in my "View Folder" window. So how is that different from re-opening a message in the Outbox folder? Maxim has a bug report on this issue as regards S/Mime encryption at https://www.ritlabs.com/bt/view.php?id=2443 I have put a note referring to it in my report on the OpenPGP "Sign" and "Sign Complete" issues at https://www.ritlabs.com/bt/view.php?id=5453 MB>> So, whether it's a failure in design or a bug in the design workings, MB>> it is something I deal with--not every once in a while, as you do--but MB>> every day. > In that case I can only suggest that you finish your messages without > saving them as draft.

Ah. Well, you see, sometimes I like to think about what I'm saying--even overnight, after I've closed TB! and shut my computer down. Additionally, the reason I Save messages into the Outbox so often is to be able to check their appearance in Rich Text View. I have a subfolder to Outbox called "Reference." I copy the entry of my message into that folder from the Outbox. I then open it and I can see in Rich Text View whether I've made a mistake in typing a Smiley "handle" and whether I like (aesthetically) the placement of that Smiley at a particular position in the body text of my message. I am pleased that MicroEd displays only plain text. This is my way to compose in plain text and double-check the Smileys in rich text. I enjoy both the Default set of Smileys and the PCWSmileys immensely. As you have no doubt noticed. :) MB>> It is not a new feature that I'm asking for. > Yes, it is a new feature.

See amended subject line in the headers of this message. I did that because I trust your judgment on the terminology about this even though I still don't understand the explanation.

Okay. I trust your judgment on how to word what I want. For now, I am leaving my BT report in the Issues section. If I understood Stefan Tanurkov's reply to me last night correctly, that is where it belongs. See mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] . He referred me to an old bug report, and I did a search on the string "PGP" and found the one by Maxim about encryption in S/Mime. Found no other that addressed this particular problem with the Outbox. Thank you so much for your patience, Roelof. If you would like to try to explain this to me further, I would be most happy to read what you have to say and try to understand it. -- Best regards, Mary The Bat 3.63.11 (Beta) on Windows XP 5.1 2600 Service Pack 2 ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.63.09 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
