Thank you tsu and yes it should, just as it was in Outlook, but for the life of me I can't figure out how it's done for instance in Mac Mail _________________________ dalehileman

You do know that, don't you, etaoin? Actually eta has defended me on numerous occasions although I suspect at times with some reluctance though never lat in my two decades doing stuff like this have I insulted anyone. There are of course at every site participants who rant and rave at the slightest supposed violation of protocol ......which incidentally recent studies seem to indicate are good for you (the ranting and raving not the protocols) so you should thank me. Meanwhile I keep inviting them all simply not to read my posts, I won't be offended in the slightest ....but they do anyway, suggesting they derive from it some sort of perverse pleasure _________________________ dalehileman

Originally Posted By: dalehileman Meanwhile I keep inviting them all simply not to read my posts, I won't be offended in the slightest If this was technically possible I would. I have not found an ignore button on this board and so to read the posts I want to I have to wade through yours much more often than I would like.
