I've done a search, and found a message in June, 2004, where Terry G. Munson says, 'I think "follow up" would be "references" in version 2.00.' mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] That sounds about right. I ran v. 1.62 until v. 2.06. Upgraded because I wanted to see the newly developed Smileys feature. Was completely confused by the change from "References" to "Follow-Up," but finally got used to it. :) >> I remember feeling totally bamboozled when I first encountered it. >> Along about that time, I was just learning about mid: id references > Another odd one that.

And you have to be so careful when you copy it, or, at least remember to take out the angle brackets when you place the message id after the "mid:" :) But, truly, I don't want any of this to get changed. They might break something else that was vital in writing new code for these relatively trivial idiosyncracies. :) -- Best regards, Mary The Bat! 3.65.04 on Windows XP 5.1 2600 Service Pack 2 ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.65.03 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
