Kathy, thank you very much for trying to help, but these instructions don't seem to work in GMail. I just tried them again. I know Dale wants us to leave the group if we can't change subject lines, and I understand his reasoning, but I don't want to leave, as I've got some really good recipes from this group. I just won't share mine, because I can't get the thing to work for me. I've been working with computers since DOS days, but cannot change the darn subject line. Anyway, I appreciate your kindness, Kathy, very much.
