However, that is not the point nor does it prohibit mail clients from achieving the same regardless of how messages are transferred or stored. Quick example...since I am involved in this thread, I'd like every future reply to it or any threads spawned from it to be highlighted automatically. The purpose is to get right to where I left off when I return later and having this thread stand out amongst the rest. Important to note, such a feature should be able to toggle highlighting off for the thread as a whole..none of this one message at a time nonsense. Perhaps I was incorrect in my terminology, but I believe the 'Watch Thread' command I was referring to simply highlighted future additions to the thread...not singling them out for download against the rest. But I was mistaken also about XNews. In XNews, I used 'scoring' to achieve similar organization. -- Best regards, James [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.stamp-co.com The Bat! v.1.62/Beta1 Windows XP build 2600 AMD Athlon 1Ghz 1.0 Gb RAM ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
