Thanks, Mark. I'm using Tbird 2.0.0.12 (mac) and it doesn't seem to work 
like that. :-/ One of the other mods is using Tbird for Windows (I know 
she's using 2.0+ (I installed it for her), but not sure what exact 
version she's got.).

I can open it, but when I hit "Reply" (or "Reply to all") the To: is 
blank and the Subject: is either blank or it says "Re: " and that's it.

Ok. I'll see if anyone's running Outcrack Express and have them try it. 
Like I said, it's been a learning curve for all of us. I'd never used 
the mail interface for this stuff before. :)

*nod* We'll keep at it. Thanks, Mark. :)
