Exactly my point, in my message to Frank ... that he would not find
much support in this group for that functionality. If v2.x allows
such by third-party plug-in, or other method, great ... that's
probably the way to go to allow people to have the functions they
want, in smorgasbord fashion, and probably the best way to quiet the
always-present "bloat" vs. "functionality" debates here, which never
solve anything but merely bloat the list. :) I was trying *not* to
go down that road, and failed miserably.
All technicalities/personal preferences aside, if you like the inline
graphics as a preview function, similar to OE, Outlook and,
apparently, Eudora and a few others, then you'll not likely find it in
TB! for awhile, Frank.
