Since you were able to actually tick or un-tick that box, yours must not be grayed out. No combination of ticked and un-ticked boxes would un-gray that option for me. >> I can only assume the difference in our versions is >> causing the disparity.

The only times I can recall having a message land in the wrong folder is when the sender changed something, which had been static, upon which I had been filtering. An examination of the filter and the errant message usually reveals the problem. -- Best Regards, Jack LaRosa :usflag: Central Alabama Using The Bat! ver: 5.2.
