I personally have no need for these, but I am interested in seeing the particular problems that others are encountering solved, as well as those that affect me. One thing that seems to influence whether a BT report is given prompt attention is how complex the issue is from a code-writing standpoint. A recent bug that I reported--failure to quote from a PGP-decrypted-message--was fixed quickly, because it had just turned up and because, apparently, it was not complicated to fix. To use a recent example from my own experience. Another thing that seems to help get attention is to post your problem and its BT link to the TBBETA list, as you have just done. Then those who are experiencing the same problem can read about it here and add supporting notes, possibly with details from their own experiences that will help the developers track down the bug. The list is slow right now. Many people may be engaged in weekend activities other than reading the list. I am sure someone else with an interest in Exchange and MAPI will answer your post soon. For instance, a great many of us were reading and posting last Thursday and Friday. When lots of people are reading, there is often a better chance of a quick reply on your topic. I hope that better qualified people than myself will be answering you soon! -- Best regards, Mary The Bat 3.51.9 on Windows XP 5.1 2600 Service Pack 2 ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.51.9 | '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/
