Hello Gleason,

>>              Reply
>>              Reply to all
>>              Forward
>>              Forward as text
>>              Forward as attachments
>>              Resend
>>              Redirect
>>              Edit as new
>>       Sub Group "Categorize" contains actions
>>               Flags
>>               Colour Group
>>               Tags
>>               Memo (was Memo Editor)
>>        Sub Group "Organize" contains actions
>>                Move to Folder
>>                Copy to Folder
>>                Save as
>>                Delete
>>         Sub Group "Print" contains actions
>>                 Print
>>                 Print Preview
>>                 Print Setup

>> What are you thoughts, readers?

OK, maybe this was not well described on my end.
I don't mean sub groups in the sense of sub menues which open on
MouseOver or Click.
I meant an optical group as you can see it in the tab "Options".
The second "Options" and "Select Skin" are what I think to be called
sub groups.

Best regards,
