Now       why it's called "¯Unsent" has always been a mystery to me. A more appropriate       name would have been either "¯Parked" or "¯Held".              [snip]        AA> Instead, I still have to go through the top menu commands:               AA> Message/Unsent/Show, then Message/Unsent/Edit.              Yes, that's correct because as far as OpenXP is concerned, parked(held)       messages are not the same as unsent messages. Confusing or what? 8-]              Regards,       Martin              --- WinPoint Beta 5 (359.1)        * Origin: Bitz-Box - Bradford - UK (2:310/31.3)       SEEN-BY: 15/2 123/1970 154/10 203/0 221/0 226/17 229/107 354 426 1014       SEEN-BY: 240/5832 249/206 317 400 280/464 5003 292/854 310/31 317/3       SEEN-BY: 322/757 342/200 393/68 396/45 423/120 712/848 770/1 2452/250       PATH: 310/31 280/464 229/426           |
