Hello Uwe,

US> There is nothing "wrong". Look and learn about modal dialogs, e.g. at
US> http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dialogfenster

I think the problem Jens is having stems from the option dialog not
being "completely" modal -- you can do things some things in TheBat
while the options dialog is open.

I believe I recreated Jen's problem:

- I opened up a message in a new window (double-clicked on it in the
  message list)
- I opened up a second message in a third window (by double clicking
  on it in the message list)
- I switched to the main application and opened up the modal options
  dialog. All actions with the main application window are now
  blocked.
- Leaving the options dialog open, I then clicked on the first message
  window entry in the task bar, which brings the first message window
  to the foreground.
- I hit SHIFT-F5, which pops open a "reply to" window, but it is
  replying to the second window I opened, and not the one I brought to
  the foreground.
- The options dialog is still open

I think this is a pretty rare situation and I'm not sure it's worth the
effort to circumvent (when weighed against other desired changes), but
I just wanted to say it *is* possible to use TheBat in limited capacity
even when the modal options dialog is open.

I believe the point Jens was trying to make (Jens please correct me if
I'm mistaken) is the modality of the options dialog should disallow
all activity in *all* TheBat windows and not just the main window; in
doing so the situation of the wrong message getting replied to when
hitting SHIFT-F5 is averted.

On a different note.. I like the changes in 4 so far. :)
