Try as I might, I cannot find a satisfactory way to make those ads disappear. If I drag the Read/Write email window down from the top, the ads will disappear, but then I'm left with just 4 lines in the message text box and two of the icons on the right, Report Spam and Print, disappear! I wonder how many complaints AOL is getting these days. Jon Raymond St Paul Park, MN Web site: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~raymond/
