Thanks Bill, that is constructive advice. I will look into doing it, for 
home (Thunderbird). However, I am not certain it will work in the 
important location, at the salt mine, as I use a different program 
there, using web-based email crap for this personal email account, so 
its not so easy. I just don't make the time to make computers most 
efficient for myself, with everything else I must do. Alas, I might 
just be the idiot that screws up people's subject lines all the time.
As Steve Martin used to say... "well, ExCUZZZE-ME!"
