sorry that I posted my previous email twice. thanks for the answer, but I knew that it was possible to achieve the same by redirecting, but that is not the same.

I will look at the code and try find out, maybe it is trivial to implement... mobi On Sat, Feb 21, 2009 at 7:27 PM, Nazri Ramliy <[email protected]> wrote: > > On Sat, Feb 21, 2009 at 11:55 PM, mobi phil <[email protected]> wrote: > > Usecase1... in my daily work it is always interesting to go back to old > > messages...
