How could the "new" copy of The Bat! have my "old" Personal Address Book files already installed? There apparently are a few "contacts" that are inherited by default (about The Bat!) when you first install The Bat!, but I'm talking about my *own* Personal Address Book. By default, it appears to come with a "check" in the Personal Address Book check box. And what do "Trusted Root CA" and "Intermediate Root CA" mean? See Tools|Backup|Choose The Personal Address Book box is checked by default, but what about "Trusted Root CA" and "Intermediate Root CA"? What are those boxes for? JF>> 1.
