Okay I can accept that. Would adding a better dictionary help at all?
I put in something like "THis is the mhatter". For "THis" it suggests
"Hi" and for "mhatter" it gives "Ha". Now I understand that spell
checkers can make some pretty dumb choices, but shouldn't it at least
try for something that has more than two characters?

Okay....I can explain this better. When you click on the spell check
button, it opens up two "windows". One is an IE window that shows a
grey area for the Java applet, the other is the applet window itself.
Here is the problem. If a user were to click on that IE window, and
hit the "X" to close the window (standard windows controls)the entire
message is gone. This is a definite problem. Shouldn't this work
differently? Maybe either by minimizing the IE window automatically or
somehow not even having that window pop up? The Java window operates
as it should.

*grumble* Okay so if my customer that just bought the templates get
the bundle pricing if they were to purchase EZSignup also? I realize it
is not much money but.....
Also, I dread having to tell them to use MS SQL (cost) so what other
DB's could be used? MySQL or something possibly?
They have to have this functionality, so I guess I don't have a
choice.
Also, how hard is it to convert the users out of the Imail database to
an external one?
Thank you
Lyle
