You mean it doesn't involve bizarre text strings reminiscent of what I used to see when my modem had problems back in my younger days? <IMG SRC="cid:1142567712.9595.0.camel@localhost.localdomain" ALIGN="middle" ALT=";-)" BORDER="0"><BR>

It does? When I move my cursor over the icon next to the address field, I get a hand icon. Clicking on it does absolutely nothing. Would you care to explain what I'm supposed to see so I can make the appropriate bug report? (Try testing it on your system to make absolutely certain you're correct first, of course.)<BR>

I have an old 64MB USB key. It fills rather rapidly. I <B>know</B> that it's full. I don't need to be reminded constantly when using it.<BR>

It's the old story: if you get an error message for every tiny thing that could possibly be slightly wrong, you get trained to ignore all error messages. Fundamentals of user interface design.<BR>
