I've been hit by the now well publicised messagelist/folder view bug. Basically, I'd expect to have your column formatting in all your messages reset to something unusable. It's easy to reset - my account defaults weren't changed, just the individual folders. Select the folder and right click, and choose its properties. (Or just select it and hit ALT+Enter - it's faster, but took me ages to realise it!) There's a new option for "Column Settings". Set it to "Use Account Default Column Settings", or to "View Mode <Generic>". As you move through your mail when it arrives (using CTRL+left or right arrows), do this to each folder. It's a small annoyance, but it's only got to be done once per folder. At the moment, I'd recommend going for the account defaults rather than the view mode. This frees you up to fiddle with view modes later on, and explore the feature fully. It also means that any minor niggles with your account default can be fixed across all folders by changing your account default settings - which will save a lot of time. Note that there's a button that offers to copy the settings to other views. This works, but not with the "Use Account Default Column Settings" option. That's why I've not told you to use it. ;-) It does work with "View Mode <Generic>", but that doesn't leave you very free to explore the new feature in my opinion. That's why I recommend resetting each folder to the account defaults manually. However, I'm sure there are people on this list that will disagree - it's the way of any feature that gives you such choices! :-) I hope that helps. -- Best regards, Philip mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Using The Bat! v2.02 CE on Windows 2000 5.0 Build 2195 Service Pack 4
