"Follow-up" is not an option with The Bat! Version 2.0 AFAICT.

By "editor window" here, I assume you mean the window that resulted from my hitting the Reply selection.

I right-clicked on all of the header titles (not the fields themselves) one by one and got the same result ... a context menu did open giving me a list of 14 possibilities ... along with the option selection to "Edit Headers".

No "Follow-up" possibility was in the context menu of possibilities. Nor do I quite understand the "show and hide" reference, but suspect that is applicable to the newer version releases. I am using an older version of The Bat!, Version 2.0.0 (from the About option) (will have to look for specific other numbers, if needed).

Possible of note, is I selected the "Edit Headers" of the context menu and it displayed The Bat! -Preferences window with Message Headers highlighted. In this window it listed all the header info that makes up the context menu and a few more. One of the headers listed, but not displayed in the context menu is Message-ID ... having entry of NO to both Address List and Editor (the other three not listed are Mailer, Date Created, Date Received). I mention Message-ID as it seems it should come into play when one changes the Subject field somehow ... if I remember correctly from reading a few other messages. Oh well ... Cyrille, thanks for your very gracious and detailed help. Pretty good steps to follow. BTW, my Dad's name was Cyrille ;>) Take care, -- Best regards, subscriber2list ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.11.02 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
