I wasn't aware of that either (thank you). I might have known it but it's not a habit I ever got into. And I'm a creature of habits in using the computer. Note: This has been a great learning experience. From Clint I learned about using the SendTo applet as a substitute for Open With in this context. At the same time I figured out how to add a file to the Open With window which requires my first adding the IrfanView extension to the "Registered file types" list in "Folder Options" (never had to add a file to that list before). That put the icon into the Open With window. And h*cking the Registry, I was able to make Open With a staple in any right-click drop-down menu so all worked out well. > > Back to an earlier point (an aside which belongs in Subject: "Formatting > replies to the group").

I wanted to know how to straighten out the threads and as I see it, you are telling me how to type a message (using the Enter key etc). I see nothing in the archives saying it can be done or it can't be done ... it's the threads I'm concerned about, not the current message. At this impasse, I'll settle for knowing that straightening out the threads can only be done manually (eCleaner, StripMail, dragging the thread lines around, whatever) until everyone, sender, receiver, and ISP (I learned this from Lynne; Lynne, correct me if I'm wrong) uses the exact same configurations for sending/receiving email. ... Thanks Clint, my friend; impasses do happen. In a million years I'll never know what you, and many others in this group, might have forgotten in computer tech ...
