My own twopence: Yes, moving on to MSIs hase made testing betas much more difficult. And, yes, RL should help on this. And, YES, MaXxX is within reason with his request. And, now that I understand MaXxX's problem better, I do agree that RL should provide something that will allow two instances of TB! to be used. With due care -- for example, by setting the second (beta) one *not* to delete POP3 messages from teh server, one would be able even to concurrently run the "production" and the beta without impact. Of course, this still requires one to duplicate the message base, but this (I think) is a small problem. And, again I stress, it is up to RL to state HOW to do this. I am still right on what I said earlier, but I now think I was too limited in my view. -- ..hggdh.. Using The Bat! v3.0.1.33 and BayesIt! 0.7.3 on Windows 2000 5.0 Build 2195 Service Pack 4
