But he's just back from being "away" and bleating about the fixes Maxim is doing and how no one from the development team will answer his (Tony's) bleats (poor little lamb <irony/sarcasm mode>). But 9Val is probably working on Tony's problem even as we speak, and as 9Val himself once so eloquently inquired on this list: <paraphrasing> Would you rather I'd be answering your posts or working on your code? > ...

I don't think Tony wears dresses--only, on occasion, fishnet stockings (that's a TBOT thread; sorry if you missed it--all of us had great fun with that one and Tony was at his wittiest). As for my own dress, it's POP3 and serving my needs quite elegantly, while saving me loads of time via Micro-Ed and its adjunct "buttons and bows." <friendly smile> Which incidentally, I think, were sewed onto the POP3 garment ages ago--certainly as early as v. 1.61, and possibly v. 1.45 (which I didn't come on the scene early enough to utilize). Nevertheless, I do appreciate your witty figure of speech and hope Tony did, too. I'm late with this because I had to leave the thread early to accompany my older sister to her appointment with her opthalmalogist. Just got in. After the doctor's appointment, both of us went out to dinner with her son and his wife. I'm replete with New York strip steak and Key Lime pie. Wish I could have shared with you, if you like that kind of stuff. :) Truly, I do know that I'm rambling OT here. You would think I wanted trout for a second dessert! Anyway, back on-topic: POP3 with plain text is basically functional--will send, receive, and manage mail--lacking only a few things to make all its users happy. IMAP--a holey garment. But I think it will be stitched up before the summer is out. ;) -- Best regards, Mary The Bat 3.5.25 on Windows XP 5.1 2600 Service Pack 2 ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.5.25 | '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/
