If the imaged is HREF'd off your machine to say, a web site, then TB
displays only exclamation points. If they HREF'd the attached images,
then TB will display them as normal. It was done this way on purpose.
One trick spammers use, is to assign a unique ID to an image request
in the HTML, so when you open the message, the image is requested from
the spammers web site, the unique ID is passed along to them, and they
now have a verified "live" e-mail address to sell to other spammers.
You're going to find a fairly even split of people on this subject,
and if you want to read past discussions concerning this, I suggest
you read the list archives.
Personally, I prefer it the way it is, but I foresee someone writing a
plugin for v2.0 (whenever it gets out! <grin>) that will get the
on-line images for those who want them.

This is covered in the FAQ. All messages received on the current date
show only the time. These same messages will show the date as well
once the current day has ended. Don't worry, your messages are still
properly sorted.

This has been brought up many times as well, and Steve will be the
first to side with you on this one as he also is used to the
<punctuation> <space> <space> style of writing. You can't please
everyone, and some people (like me) like using the ALT-L to remove the
double-spaces from replied messages.

Unsub the lostenroute address and sub the jpcase address. See the
bottom of every message coming from this list for exact instructions.
However, a quick fix to your problem is to create a folder for TBUDL
messages, and make the reply and new message templates for that folder
to have the FROM and REPLY-TO information as lostenroute. This way,
you get the best of both worlds-- list messages sent to lostenroute,
and the ability to send messages to the list using TB.
l> Is anyone following this?
Perfectly! <grin>
