Hello Allie,
This thread has / had nothing to do with the subject header by now.

alt+v+m when used from the main window is the same as
shift+control+e. The main problem is getting the ticker to open
(time wise). Otherwise I could do advanced filtering on the inbox of
each account, except this one where 2 filters are automatically
rather than manually implemented.

Yes, that's clear.

TB! insists on counting all messages, including se in subdirectories
not selecting for tickering. This is equivilent to removing the
speen of the wrong patient.

OK. You get paid better for removing spleens.

I have probably gotten my money's worth out of this one by now and
have a PII up at the border. But the next one's going to have to be
a portable with a big hard disk and a lot of RAM, which aren't that
cheap.
If there was a good OS that handled threads well and had developer
support, a dual processor system might be appropriate. But maybe the
faster CPU and buses are doing the job.
Meanwhile, I did notice that alt+n gives me navigation options that
include go to. That just took 10 seconds to kick in on my system.
Remember though, some of the problems mentioned earlier here have
never affected me. For instance, I can open TB! together while other
programs are opening w no problems.
Lastly, I have what's either a bug or an omission: TB!'s view
folder, using message lists, doesn't let you flag for priority since
no flag menu appears on right clicking. You can do colors, flags
(via the cursor) memos & colors but NOT designate priority except
through the main window, because the ticker view window (which tells
you the name of ONE account - although it *will* contain more)
doesn't let you do it either.
If no one else has noticed this, I propose we call it Doug's Bug.
Another lastly: What's the story with v 142c? What does C stand for,
Cirujano?
One more lastly (and this is important) : What if I want to ticker
to show ALL messages that arrived within a given time frome,
INCLUDING messages already read.
The ticker has now gotten used to being run. (Computers evidently
undergo a process similar to myelinization). It popped up intantly
on shift+cntrl+t (although it took over a minute to start moving -
but it may have been stuck (I had to punch it around a bit) and now
it's runninng in the background, while the keystrokes are appearing
as I write. Computers are like women (sometimes incomprehensible but
necessary. That is not a sexist statement).
My ticker does not hide by right clicking. shift+ctrl+t stopped dead
for a minute, then it moved again and I could hide it by right
clicking. One more shift+ctrl+t popped it right back up, but it was
another 55 seconds before it moved and let me do anything in TB!
Then, it insisted on being always in front (that wasn't selected),
until I covered it with another program and went back to this
message. I can live with that. Now it's in the background doing it's
thing.
