How does one do this properly? I tried to do it, but the window will not scroll. The file is 95 lines. I can only see what fits in the window. On the subject of "confessions", I just had a problem with mail sent (which is why I am trying to insert a file). The mail was returned to me since I spelled the recipients name wrong. Is there a simple way to send it again without saving it, clearing off the messy headings, and inserting it into a new letter to the same person (name spelled correctly)? Thanks! Debbie

Inserting a file should be as simple as choosing the "File/Insert" menu item (or ^X^I - the default keybinding) and entering the name of the file you want inserted. There has on occasion been problems with inserting some files because of strange reactions between things like ctext (C-code formatting text view) and text822 (RFC822 conforming text object/view) which have been seen to reproduce behavior similar to what you describe - but I haven't seen that happen for quite some time -- certainly not with the latest patchlevel of sources (I think? I'm never 100% sure what we're running here ;-) ---- As for taking mail that got bounced back (or whatever) and sending it out again - there are, I believe, several alternatives - the easiest is probably Cut/Paste between the BodyWindow and the Send Window. There is also "This Message/Forward To", "This Message/Resend To" menus in the Body Window - or "Other/Excerpt Body" in the Send Window. I think there is an option somewhere that will give you the ability to use the message currently on display as if it were a draft message - but I don't remember the options you need turned on for it. If you keep a BCC of the messages you send out - that would by far be the best, cleanest source for a second sending - as that copy should not contain all the mess you want to avoid. Hope that helps... --fish
