Right. this came up in another connection yesterday. If you CLOSE the main
window, then all bets are off. Entourage will revert to its "on launch"
procedures. If (like the person yesterday did) you click on Entourage in the
dock when  some other app is in the front, Entourage will open the main
window as it comes forward. If Send & Receive runs, like you did,  the PW
will come to the front. (i expect that there's some sort of off-stage
invisible window, or else just an invisible procedure, whose job it is to
keep the PW hidden if you've closed it previously. This phantom must be tied
to the main window, so if you close that, the Phantom isn't there either and
the PW opens and comes to the front.) So in OS X - always minimize the main
window to get behaviour you expect - don't close it.

Thanks for you thorough testing, Bill. (And thanks for confirming that there
_is_ a difference between manual and scheduled Send & Receives - when the PW
is open but in the back. I thought there was.)
