It seems strange to me that the same key would have opposite uses depending on which screen you're on. Also, I can't find anything that tells me F2 means Send Now in the editor window - the menu says the shortcut is Ctrl-Enter, the help file says the shortcut is Shift-F2 (actually the help file reverses the Send Now and Queue in Outbox shortcuts - presumably a typo). Neither refer to F2. In fact until I discovered (2 minutes ago) the separate short-cut editor for the editor window (I had foolishly assumed there would be only one for the whole program), I couldn't figure out what was meant by "in the editor F2 means "Send mail". I don't see how anyone would know that except by stumbling across it by accident, as I did. In any case, it seems to me that a single key "Send Now" command is a recipe for disaster - it's way too easy to strike a single key by mistake. I've now disabled it, but I think it's at least a design fault that the menus don't display F2 as the shortcut for 'Send Now" (if only so that people who hit it by mistake can figure out what happened to their message). -- Best regards, Shauna mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ________________________________________________________ Current Ver: 1.60c FAQ : http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
