That's exactly what I did too -- but in my case it was between The Bat and Becky. It's the only thing that seemed to reset the functionality of the mailto: link (and kill the 'glitch'), so long as I removed the check from the default mail setting in The Bat as well. If I didn't do that, then the problem occurred the next time I ran The Bat, and then tried clicking on a mailto: link in IE again. > Seems OK to me.

I'm still not sure why the query disappeared on its own. > It's a glitch that has been experienced by others, including Win2k > users.

However the more I use The Bat, the more I like it, so I think it will become my permanent e-mail client soon. For now, I set it as the default. > I've been running TB! on XP Pro here for over a year and things are > just fine. No problems at all. Thanks for the info. I did wonder about this a little, since I had relatively few problems with my e-mail client in XP. I was hoping The Bat would work well with XP in the long run, and if your situation is any indication of that, I must say I'm relieved. I've also read a lot of positive things about The Bat elsewhere, which really helps. :) Now it's just a matter of deciding between the educational version and the personal version of The Bat. :) Thanks for your help! -- Best regards, Kim [EMAIL PROTECTED] ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
