I have TB configured to run HTML because the programmer advised me to do that, after I got a strange error code: "Call to OS failed," when I tried to open a series of messages from TBUDL in my In-Box. He was so kind and so prompt to assist me. I don't like to bother him except as a last resort. However, I am on flat-fee dial-up, 56K modem,and I could FWD the code to him or to Ritlabs if I knew how. Can I do that without opening the message again? I saved it in a separate folder of its own.

I have OE configured to "Open Attachment in the Message Body,"--a dangerous practice, I reckon, but otherwise I have to port GIFs and JPEGs and other type picture files to Adobe Photo Deluxe. For some reason I never have been able to make Adobe's Photo Gallery function cooperate with OE. It used to work like a charm in Eudora, the Mime virus vulnerability queen that I loved so. (I'm not worried about that. Plan to stay with The Bat!,anyway.) <g> Anyway, the file, a mix of pictures and text, opened right up in OE. >> Marck, Leif, Allie--please excuse me for digressing at such length >> from the subject.

Thanks for changing the subject line in your Reply. And many thanks for the good advice. -- Mary ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
