Tony: Still a silly idea, one button is enough, pointless having a checkbox to turn a button on and off. You don't have checkboxes to turn the toolbar icons on and off. =============================================================================== And before that: mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] =============================================================================== DC> Actually what we had talked about was a check box to completely disable DC> or enable that button, for those that want to turn the remote download DC> feature completely off. Two buttons? One button would be enough. A message comes through that you want the images for, click the button. Next message you don't want to see the images, don't click the button. I see no reason to have a another button that turns a button on and off, you may as well leave it as it is and double click the html attachment, it'll be less effort. ================================================================================= And before that: mid:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> =============================================================================== How about a button on the header pane that works on a per message basis. It only appears if the message is html and requires images to be downloaded. You click it, the pretty pictures appear and then it defaults to off for the next message? =============================================================================== MB>> I can just see myself accidentally clicking on such a button and here MB>> comes my sister Sue's latest worm--I am dead serious here, Thomas, and MB>> not speaking ironically. > I see you, and the option would be somewhere under > Options/Preferences/SomethingObscure, and I promise you will have > trouble even finding and enabling it. ;-) Thank you.

Well, he proposed the button on the header pane as an alternative to an On/Off check-box in preferences. Then he said he saw no need for the On/Off check-box in preferences if his proposed On/Off per message appeared in the View Folder-Message Header Pane. And called the idea of the Configuration On/Off choice "silly." I realize he isn't saying "leave Mary [per se] at risk" but it comes to the same thing.

That's the point at which your proposal and Tony's proposed substitute diverge. -- Best regards, Mary The Bat 3.0.2.10 on Windows XP 5.1 2600 Service Pack 2 ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.0.9.1 Deep Alpha | '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/
