Hello Roel,
THanks for replying to my post, I think I'm starting to get a better
handle on how the bat works. Can I arrange the order in which columns
are displayed essentially overriding the default thread view? I mean,
will doing this cause messages not to be threaded properly?
I now have a more basic question about replying -- I notice I have
reply and reply to all. Is there an easy way to reply to someone
directly rather than to the list? If so, I appologize for not using
it.
Again, thanks for all your help,
Steve
