Thats TheBat's automatic reply numbering. You can change it in the Account Properties / Templates / Reply - there's a tickbox "use reply numbering" on the bottom (below the reply template textbox). > I've always started out a new messages with Re: in the subject heading > Something from my Eudora days... you are not the first person to ask > this... I guess this is confusing to the group so I will no longer use > Re: in the subject heading... I dare say its not only confusing for this group. This "Re:" subject prefix is used to indicate a REply to some other message. When I see a "Re:" in a subject, I assume it is a reply to another message - which makes me wonder if the original message is missing on my end, or if TheBats threading function has failed... Normally, you don't have to worry about it at all. When you compose a new message, just type an appropriate subject (as you already do). When you reply to an existing message, TheBat will automatically add the "Re:" (or the "Re[n]" if you use reply numbering) to the subject. And when you forward a message, TheBat will automatically add a "Fwd:" prefix to the subject. -- Best regards, Alexander (http://www.neurowerx.de - ICQ 238153981) NP: "La Future Orbite" by Joking Sphinx (from the 1997 compilation "Nataraja 2") ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.71.03 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
