Hi, this doesn't address the underlying question of how to change the MSG box, but if you're using Firefox you can use the Lazarus plugin to "raise your text from the dead" in the scenario you describe. You need to toggle the box into plain text mode to get the right-click Lazarus restore option. After this you can toggle it back to HTML if you want. This toggle is one of the buttons on the wysiwyg Comment box control sorry can't remember which one right now!
