The pages work perfectly on IE 5.5 and later, Mozilla and many others. NetScape is buggy and there's nothing I can do about that and I'm trying to code around some of Opera's shortcomings. With those provisos the FAQ works well and includes a link at the front page to a "flat" version which will work on any browser. > There seem to be paragraph and block formatting functions, but can't > figure out how to do simple formatting like bolding/highlighting > text. Probably Outlook Express <g>. TB is a plain text email client. You can't set character attributes in plain text. You have to use ASCII emphasising like *bold*, /italic/, _underline_ and SHOUTING. This is actually the only way to ensure that the person receiving your message can understand the stresses where they appear. Let's face it, email is about who we are sending it to, not about what we see. The best of all worlds is where we can guarantee that what we see is what we send is what the recipient sees. The Bat! is one of the best in the world at that job. > Is a local font change possible? Am I missing something? That's a matter of changing the editor preferences. It won't affect what you send. Also, again because of the plain text limitation and because of the "column formatting" capabilities of the editor, you are restricted to using fixed width fonts in the editor. You may be able to get hold of some alternatives. One favourite is Andale Mono, available from the MS downloads site. > ... It would be much nicer to have it open a "new-mail list" It is one. Just enable the "Message list" of the "Browse ticker messages" folder view window that opens when you double click on the ticker. > Also, the silly banner won't go away unless I read all the messages. > Isn't there some way to dismiss it?

No, but I keep mine "minimal" by shrinking it to the smallest possible width and sliding it off the edge of the screen so that only a half inch of it is visible. - -- Cheers -- .\\arck D.
