*Hi Colin,

Well I suppose you might be correct, but none the less, it makes it hard 
as I said, for a new person or even an old user as I am to figure it out 
LOL...

By the way, I have Thunderbird for which I use as my mail client, and I 
have asked this once before, but guess it is either old age or brain 
dead, but when I compose a new message, I used to have all of my email 
addresses show up on the left, but now it is not...Might you or someone 
else know who to have the addresses show up...???

Thanks for any help on this one also...

Larry
