I don't understand how you can sort on a parameter you leave out. Do
you mean you are not sorting them at all, just leave them in the order
they come in?

No; TB uses the Windows settings (at least in Win98).

This can always be. For example, her time stamp shows PST. I
understand that Compuserve's central computer is in Ohio. Since she is
using the Cserve's SMTP server (csimo01.mx.cs.com, right?), this
should be CST (IMHO).
On the other hand, your time zone should be CST, but you are on EST.
Am I missing something?

Either this, or The Bat! time travels. "Communicating with the Unseen"
