-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Victor,

I leave it unzoomed, shortened to the smallest possible size and then dragged off beyond the left edge of the screen about 3cm above the Start button with about 1cm of the thing left showing. Why? 1) I have turned off old flappy. I got tired of unread Spam in my Anti-Spam account triggering the wings and I let the minimal ticker serve as my "You have mail" notification. 2) I have access to one of the real gems of the TB system - the "Browse Ticker Messages" virtual folder. There, in a simple and easy folder, are all of my unread messages. If I want to zoom in to see the rest of a thread, double click a message in the folder message list to open the message in the specific folder context. A quick "Esc" will take me back out and I resume browsing the new mail I have enabled the "Folder" column so I can see where the message resides to start wide. I also colour code important unread messages so they stand out in the list. 3) Using "System wide hotkeys" in conjunction with PowerPro and Stroke-it, a couple of mouse gestures opens the ticker mail, jumps me to the first message and opens all threads. Boy, do I make this baby work for me or what? ;-) The biggest downside about the virtual ticker folder is that it is created in the moment of opening and is a snapshot of the ticker content at that moment. New messages that come in after it was opened will appear on the ticker but not in the virtual folder. Still, if more come in, I can just close the view and a fresh view is just a couple of mouse gestures away <g>. - -- Cheers -- .\\arck D Pearlstone -- List moderator TB! v1.62 Christmas Edition on Windows 2000 5.0.2195 Service Pack 2 ' -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1rc1-nr1 (Windows 2000) iD8DBQE+FOVwOeQkq5KdzaARAuo5AJ9ioqE/ggLj8jwcRpUhANjvqksTygCeImsA zRUvH8YFpfKYcfhdf8mRoFI= =X+Ly -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
