If accidentally clicking on a column header nukes the view mode you spent an hour creating, it's hard to call that a feature. I use the (undocumented) Ctrl + RMB-click-on-column-header technique to multiply sort columns in my view modes. For instance, in my Inbox view mode I might sort first by read status, second by received date, third by sender, and fourth by subject. (Very nice feature, by the way.) One errant mouse click on a column header and --bam!--it's gone. I have to recreate it from scratch. This is not a "feature" I appreciate. If sorting by columns changes the view mode, then it loses it's basic usefulness as a quick way to group together all messages from a given sender, etc. Or view modes becomes unusable. Hold your cursor over a column header and right click. You're offered the option to save the column settings to a view mode. I should have to use this feature if I want the changes saved. Otherwise they should be discarded when I move to a different folders. -- Best, M-K Using The Bat! v2.12.00 on Windows 98 4.10 Build 2222 A - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - "There is no doubt in my mind that millions of lives could have been saved if the people had not been 'brainwashed' about gun ownership and they had been well armed.
