So--maybe one of us should post a query on tbtech about it? The last thing I want to do is annoy friends like you (or, perhaps even worse, enemies lol if I have any). So I would like the filter to be available and possibly even added to TB!'s set of MACROS. MB>> This is an old horse, of course, and neither of us wishes to beat MB>> it to death! CT> Oh, but I do, Mary. Okay, MOG! I shall assist you in the endeavor. LOL (For the benefit of tbtech subscribers, where I'm CCing this post, MOG has been variously defined on this thread, first by Clive as "miserable old git," and then by another poster as "Messenger of God.") Can anyone write a filter that will remove "any text preceded immediately by a colon plus followed immediately by a colon" from Clive's View Folder window, in which he uses Plain Text View? -- Best regards, Mary :Trill: http://www.PCWize.com/thebat/PCWSmileys.php The Bat! 3.0.2.4 Rush on Windows XP 5.1 2600 Service Pack 2 ________________________________________________________ http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
