Yes, I was speaking of original messages: simply a bad habit I must break, although Larry reminded me that the Amiga keys will front-to-back me if I'm "stupid" again. <grin>. Am I right in assuming that the "R" flag that appears after collecting messages only works on RTN, such that if I collect headers only, I will have to bounce out of Whap to check them out. (I'm afraid I just can't afford to DL all messages in topics I'm intereseted in. Historically, I've only done QS to check for items of interest, and then done RI. Which, of course, falls apart when people start chatting about Star Trek in the middle of a memory expansion thread) This is the only stumbling block I have with Whap so far, and I suspect I'm just not clear on the concept that drove its creation. Do most folks "dump" the entire message base every few days? Thanks, in advance, for clarifying, Karl
