Note: just to save some packets, Curtis, I double checked my spelling
in the e-mail address. I indeed have .com instead of .om

Yes, I tired that first. No effect; that's why I chose Anywhere. But I
don't understand how it would change the color of messages not from
me? I mean, I hope there is only one [EMAIL PROTECTED] :-)

LOL. OMG, yeah I should have known that. But it should still pick up in
this case, as you mentioned.

Ahh, the Advanced tab setting was the problem. :-D
