I have a couple questions of general operation to ask. Here they go: 1) When saving a draft message, what is the difference in saving it as a draft and saving it as mail stationary. I have tried both ways and can't see an obvious difference. 2) I saw somewhere a while ago where someone was giving some possible uses for noticeboards. Anyone know where I might find that. 3) A while back Thomas Stevenson was helping me with a problem and I brought up a suggestion. He said it had been discussed at great length before. So even though he said he was avoiding it (lol), I will bring it up. When composing a message, clicking on the question mark next to the To: field brings up the most recently used addresses. I myself would prefer it brought up an address book, since I do most addressing from there. Can the developers (David), the support group, or someone else tell me the reasoning behind doing it the current way? Not that I'm complaining. I love Pegasus. I just would prefer the question mark bring up the address book. Perhaps in the future this could be a switch option? 4) In the editor, whenever I'm typing plain text the right margin is fixed at one spot and text wraps accordingly. However, if I use some of the formatting features (rtf) such as centering text, the right margin changes to a different spot and when subsequent text wraps, it stretches out and leaves a lot of space between words. It makes it kind of hard to get proper formatting with rtf. Anyone else notice this, or am I doing something wrong? Any comments are greatly appreciated. Paul.....

If you don't save it as stationery, it will be removed when you go
back to it later and then send it. If you save it as stationery, you
can keep reusing it and sending it to different recipients.

There's a button on the toolbar to do that.

Your market research is wrong! I am not interested in your product.
Don't add me to your mailing list and don't ask me to "reply to

What I am talking about is invoking the address from the "To:" field while composing a message, as opposed to it invoking recently used addresses. This is only a matter of preference, so it's not a big issue. Thanks for your reply. Much appreciated. Paul.....
