I too have the multiple account sending problem that Dwight has but that situation is clearly an exception and must be managed as an exception. It is the price we pay for putting ourselves in that position. I am growing weary of the seeming lack of vision for the broad picture that affects most users. When I expose a new customer to TB! I tell them up front that it is quirky and the Help is horrendous but if they will hang in there while I get them trained they will have a tremendously _safe_ tool at their disposal. Let's correct the "quirks" and give _more_ control to the user instead of wresting away what they already have. -- Take Care, Paul The Bat! v.3.63.09 (BETA) on Win2k SP4-Rollup1 5.0.2195 No IMAP No OTFE Opera 9 Beta 1 ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.63.09 | '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/
