I understand. m>>A right-click on the Bat icon on the far right offers "minimize" plus m>>a host of other menu choices, including "check mail" and "exit."

Yes, you're right. I haven't actually used these tray and taskbar functions a lot, since I read my mail in the main message window, as opposed to the preview pane. z> If they could simply map Minimize as the default click action when the z> window is open (it can obviously detect this since Minimise appears z> there rather than Restore), that'd do the trick.

The more options for personal comfort the better! :) z> Not a big deal as far as features go, just something that would make z> that tray icon really nice to use. So, will you put it on the wish list? I gather that development of the beta version 2.1 is proceeding apace. -- Best regards, Mary The Bat! 1.61 on Windows XP 5.1 2600 Service Pack 1 ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62r | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
