I,

I looked for TB configuration send options; I couldn't find it in my 
version.  TB 2.0.0.17 (20080925).  That's OK though, I would rather not 
upset the regular membership with things that only interest me.  I have 
spent enough of my life swimming up-stream.  I haven't used 
abbreviations before but I will learn.
