Thanks for this suggestion. At the TB site I couldn't find any back version later than 2.12.04 so I downloaded and set that up. Heart in mouth and without uninstalling 3.98.1 I installed 2.12 in a new folder. Everything seems to work, it found my old email; the only glitch was the loss of some options and and all my filters -- a minor price to pay for A MAILER WITH EXCELLENT FEATURES AND NO SERIOUS BUGS. You can't imagine how long I've been looking for that -- years. The only one I know of that I haven't tried is OE. Some minor bugs are still (already ...) there in 2.12.04 -- F4 doesn't quote the selected text, Alt-L usually requires two clicks to left justify, there are probably more. But all of the following are gone: 1. Unable to use clipboard reliably on Win 98. 2. Clickable links don't work with Firefox. 3. The 'sorting office' cannot be used to create a filter -- it goes through the motions but no filtering ever happens. AFAIK there IS no filtering office in 2.12 No loss ... 4. When you right click a message and hit 'reply to address' you get the same list of options AGAIN on top of the new message. And, V. 2.12 is substantially faster than 3.98. I mean, a LOT. Everything seems instant. Even downloads seem faster, tho I don't see how that could be. I suppose there must be some features that are missing, but the only thing I've noticed is the icons are different and a little harder to figure out. What is it with developers that they keep adding features while dirty-ing up (rather than the reverse) product? Pegasus was the same way -- the higher the release number the more bugs. I wonder if the key for V 3.98.1 will also 'unlock' V 2.12.04? Thanks again ...
