Woody, The "ad hiding trick" works for the window that shows all received emails. It does not work, as far as I can tell, with the window in which one reads an individual email unless you want the white box that displays the email text to be so small as to be virtually worthless. If this change hasn't yet hit your machine, count your blessings as I've doubt you will eventually get hit. Jon Raymond St Paul Park, MN Web site: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~raymond/
