Hi Curtis,

[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote and made these points on the subject of "Two

more life breathed into it's rotting carcass!):

There are two "matching" functions within TB. The "no-action" matching
tries to match a partial entry from the "To" history list. If you
haven't written many messages with TB yet this won't be a particularly
large selection. The "pro-active" method is to use Ctrl-Plus to cycle
through matching entries from the address book (both real-names and
addresses).

Only ISFA it's what we have been pressing for with strong voice and
large opinion. I know that they said they'd be doing scripting and
plug-ins for TB2 but I don't recall RIT actually stating that external
editors *will* be supported. OTOH, if they're supporting plug-ins,
plugging in an external editor with and encapsulating script must be a
runner.

That's your choice and privilege.
