My fault for not reading it properly I can't tell from that if you've groked the situation or not... BTW, I didn't realize you weren't adding any text /at/ /all/. The warning shouldn't be fatal. The errors I believe are. Thus, you have to put /something/ in the message body for it to work. I believe a simple "dot return", that is, a simple period, on a line by itself, would do, tho I haven't tested and it may need a bit more than that. So, your choices are either insert a bit of dummy text or do the sig rearrange thing. In my tests, I always had a bit of text so I didn't run into that one. Maybe I'll add something about it to the help text for the next version. Anyway, now I can see why you were making a bigger deal of it than I thought warranted. <g> If it was erroring out and refusing to post at all, due to no text at all, then yes, if I had experienced it doing that, I would have certainly considered it a bug and done thing a bit different -- or if I had realized it was due to no text in the body, I would have at least mentioned that in the help file. However, it simply didn't occur to me to even test that. I guess that's what bug testers are for! <g> Very useful feedback! Thanks! Again, expect a warning about that in the help text for the next version, now that I'm aware of it. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
