Michael, Regarding number 1, I can not duplicate your issue on either my production (0.7.2) system, nor on my development (0.8-beta). Selecting one or more addresses and clicking the Compose-to button works perfectly every time for me. For number 2, can I assume that you are using the compose_addressbook plugin for that? If so, we also use that plugin, and it also works properly for us in 0.7.2. (That plugin will not be necessary in 0.8, the contact list is visible in the compose window by default.) What address books are you using when you see these problems - the default SQL or an LDAP book? -- Arne Berglund System Administrator, Internet Services Lane Education Service District Eugene, OR ____________
