M> I'm trying to prevent sending by "accident". I understand. Everybody has their own kind of accidents. As for the wrong recipient (your example of sending to a mailing list when you want to send a PM), how can a computer program know whether you mean what you tell it to do? In this case, I like to quote the legendary Steve Lamb: "Rise your eyes three degrees and look at the To address". I don't want TB! to ask "are you sure you want to send this message to this recipient?", "are you sure you don't want to sign the message", and so on. I have already told it what to do. >> If you are mistakenly sending a message and it is sufficienctly >> large and your internet connection sufficiently slow, opening the >> Connection Center and Deleting the task should work.

Or go outside and cut the telephone pole and hope the M> cable will break that way. ;-) After you have instructed TB! to do something and then find out this is not what you meant, you can do all of these things. However, I still don't understand how a filter would prevent you from giving instructions that you didn't mean. But then, I don't understand all this Artificial Intelligence and Fuzzy Logic stuff. Maybe I just don't get what you mean, since you have abandonded your campaign for a Drafts folder. Sorry if my reply is not helpful. -- Cheers, Thomas.
