1. I trimmed this one...<BR>
2. I for one have more than one computer that I collect mail from ALE on (desktop and laptop). I do like having the full context handy if I don't have the previous postings on my laptop. This is handy from time-to-time but not a show stopper by any means. Either way, it is my problem and I just deal with it. If the thread is of interest to me I'll sort through it. If it's not I just move on...<BR>

Standing down from soapbox now...<BR>
