CW>> Thanks Stuart, the more I look at View Modes, and tabs the more CW>> confused I get.

As far as I can see there's no going back over such a change. Despite the odd anomalies with the last of the V 4.* Bat! versions, nothing like this has ever occurred before. Paying for an upgrade to the latest V5.* has not been a pleasant experience. All I wanted was ALL folders to be set with a View Mode showing all messages threaded in reverse date order, and the new (to me) Tabs showing either : All / Today / Yesterday / This Week / or Unread. EXTREMELY unimpressed! That aside, many thanks for your frank advice :) ________________________________________________ Current version is 5.2.2 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
