Hello Bill,
On Saturday, September 09, 2000 at 00:26:54 GMT -0400 (which was 9:26 PM
where I live) witnesses say BillG typed:

Nope. The closest you can get is to mark "old" unread messages with
a different colour group, using the flag or park options. Then mark
your old unread messages as read. There are many disadvantages to
this strategies, but its the closest you can get right now.

Hold down the ALT key while dragging with the mouse. To make a
folder a child folder of another folder, use ALT-CTRL and drag.

I think you have to export the message and view it using your
favourite text editor.
> 4) the built-in html viewer doesn't seem to work very well?
TB renders HTML properly, it just will not go onto the net to search
for graphics, etc. If the pictures are sent along with the message,
then TB will display them correctly. There are several reasons, one
of them being:
Some spammers will send an HTML message with a reference to a small
graphic with a unique name. When their server registers a hit on
that file, they know that your address is active.
I usually leave the HTML auto-view turned off. When I get a message
where I want to see the formatted version, I just double click on the
attachment icon to view it in my default browser.
I wouldn't want RIT to spend any time working on the HTML rendering
engine. However, I wonder how much work it is to make use of the IE
engine? I know several programs that do this to incorporate browser
capabilities.
> 5) Is the toolbar configurable? I can't see how to do it.
Not yet. It is supposedly going to be in Version 2. But don't hold
your breath waiting for *everything* that is rumoured to be in the
works for V2.
