I.e. there would be a list of links, e.g. "_Outlook_ _Outlook_Express_ _Pine_ ...", etc. But I must have misunderstood; the impression I got was that nothing was happening. If a page is being made, that would be great! I still think the OLOCA should at least have a link back to such a page, however, for convenience if nothing else. Heck, just make the word "configure" in the acronym's expansion be the link :-). Then there is no new text. Oh, and I wouldn't worry about Thunderbird, given that the *default* configuration is correct. If someone is using Thunderbird and doing it wrong, there's a good chance that's because they made the change intentionally. -- Matthew "The spiraling shape will make you go insane!" -- They Might Be Giants
