It's most likely just to accommodate the fact that the message list typically uses proportional fonts, and to provide a consistent visual cue. For example, at a column width of 7, you'll only see a single PIXEL for some characters, such as a capital T, which might be missed in a quick visual scan. And if you widen it, you'll end up with a variable number of characters appearing in that column, which is kinda messy. I'm pretty sure "!" was selected because it's a single pixel wide and effectively provides a consistent visual "icon", not unlike the park/flag symbols. -- zParticle ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.00 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
