Still wondering what CF> trouble that might have been which could not be cured by immediate CF> restart... It was a long time ago, when I was a total newbie, running v. 1.61 on Win95. I would think I was closing a View Folder window--would have the windows closely cascaded--and would catch TB!'s Main Window X. No back-up would have been run for a considerable amount of mails. Win95 would then suddenly decide to act up and give me a blue screen of death. (At that time Zone Alarm was still in the mix, also,as I recall.) I had been trying out making filters, too. Lost some mails from a sister I'm very close to. Fortunately, she had saved a copy and simply re-sent them to me. As I said, all a long time ago. :) CF> ...

If it CF> happened by mistake, open TB again. My practice now. And a long time since I've had any ill effects. But I could, from my long-ago bad experience, see the opposite point of view. If this option is offered, I will not enable it. I will keep the default X box closure, because it is what I am used to. CF> I first thought when I read >> An option to put TB in the systray when clicking that X would >> be appriciated here. Forgot who said this. Don't think I did. If I did, I was sleepwalking, as I myself do not need such an option. Just want those who do, to have it. Like HTML and IMAP and so much more. Many Bat features that are essential to others and that I don't use at all. CF> that a pop-up or something like that would start nagging me when CF> trying to exit TB.... Yes. I would hate that. Keep the present behavior default. Let that box thingy be completely optional. :) CF> ...

Great compromise! Good deal. So let the ones who want it write the feature request. :) -- Best regards, Mary The Bat 3.0.2.4 Rush on Windows XP 5.1 2600 Service Pack 2 ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.0.2.4 Rush | '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/
