Hey, I'm not disputing what you say, except it is not slow on my Pent133
which isn't exactly a fast machine, and certainly it takes more effort for
you to do it than to have someone else do it but it didn't take me much time
at all to do this in my PMMail setup.   (I do think you are underestimating 
the time it takes to modify code that you have not written yourself).

You *did* clip out a very pertinent section of what I wrote:

"                                                                                         Don't have to all
hold our breaths waiting for BSW to release some new fix.....  I gave
up on holding mine many months ago."

I don't know how familiar you are with the product, but BSW bought
PMMail about 22 months ago.  What *substantial* changes have you seen
to the program in that time?   (other than the change to the copyright
holder's name, icon for the program, contact points, etc)

This list is used by everyone to create their own great set of features, and
everyone has great and wonderful reasons for their own to be done *now*.
We're coming up soon on the 2 YEAR Anniversary of change in ownership
of the product, we've been promised this and that, and I for one haven't
seen much.

I gave you a method that will work right now, today.  Of course you certainly
*can* wait until it is implemented in the source code as you suggest................
