Eudora's interface may have more 'buttons', but if the main toolbar is turned off, the message window only has relevant icons, similar to Entourage's. In fact, I suspect the number of buttons in Entourage & Eudora is similar. Certainly, the more esoteric functions do not appear on the default toolbars. The great beauty of Eudora is that YOU can choose how to display the main toolbar, horizontally, vertically, anchored or floating, with or without text, with or without icons. Even better, YOU can decide what commands, documents, scripts and applications are attached to those buttons. If only Entourage had this level of customisation. -- Barry -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
