"Follow up" is Ritlabs way of renaming the RFC References header field to make it more confusing. There seems to be no good reason for this. :-) You can see this renaming by selecting Preferences->Message Headers and scroll down the list to see "Follow up" under Display As next to "References" under RFC Name. Notice also the bizarre renaming of the perfectly good RFC Name "Sender" to "X-Sender". -- Bill McQuillan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Using The Bat! 2.11 on Windows XP 5.1 build 2600-Service Pack 1 ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.00.00 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
