I understand this, however, I'm not trying to do much with it. Just serve
the pages accurately.

I might do this. I'm having that disappear image trick too, although it
only happens with IE.

Thanks, I already discovered this one (grimace).

The tag "<!--IMAIL.!BeginIfMenuExpand-->" is not discussed anywhere in the
documentation. Fortunately, it's pretty simple. However, I also have
general gripes about the completeness of the tag docs. For instance, the
documentation does not mention that <!--IMAIL.MailMessage--> will spit out
a whole email, header included, in an HTML table! And when I placed that
tag with another set of Message tags, it appeared to increment the msg
number. The readmail.htm file submits forms to buttons.cgi - where/what is
this file? How does it work?

Nope, I'm working on v6.03.
