Actually, 3.5.36 works better with Gmail than 3.0.2.10. But I am not talking about my options as a beta tester but rather the options of the general TB user. When I look at the TB download page, I see an option to download 3.51, 2.12, and 1.62. I don't see an option to download 3.0.2.10 or even 3.5.30. So these options that you talk about 9Val are more for the beta testers than the TB users. But, personally, two things are of most interest to me in respect to 3.51: o Can I rely on MicroEd to not distort the text of my email messages? o Will it give me an OTFE implementation that I can use (i.e. that will search my message base without hanging and also preserve my settings while migrating)? I cannot even consider using 3.51 unless I know that 3.51 will not do something unexpected to the text that I am writing. And, while I might use 3.51 if the content is preserved accurately, I won't feel satisfied with the release if I cannot use OTFE because of the search problem or if migrating to OTFE becomes a very painful process due to loss of settings. 9Val, can you please clarify the situation with 3.51 in respect to the above two questions. -- jaywalker Windows XP Pro SP2 and The Bat!
