It does not tie up my system. Dont' know if you have tried this, but if you point your mouse at the from/subject/date fields, right click, select Customize Current View, then select the Fields Shown button. On the right, select which field you want first and move it up or down with the appropriate buttons. That should give you what you want. </BLOCKQUOTE> Yes, of course. But how about doing this over and over again with several folders in your entire tree? If you have a small tree, no big deal, but if you have many trees, ugh. It takes awhile, granted, but gets worst if you have to do this for each user, for each computer, as an "IT personnel"? Anyway, in any case, it is just one issue in many other issues in making Evo more robust in terms of user configurability, overall. I liked the way Thunderbird and Kmail implemented their interfaces, unfortunately their "engines" were not robust enough to be useful. Kind regards, Dan </BODY> </HTML>
