   Holger,   
      
   Since I've started using MultiMail (MM) DOS (or WIN occasionally) when   
   I want to save a Tagline from a message I press the T Key and a Tagline   
   Entry Box (TEB) shows up on the screen with the Tagline already filled   
   in.   
      
   Some  messages just show a empty line so I just type the Tagline into   
   the TEB.   
      
   Most of the messages are large enough that I can see the Tagline to   
   type it in by hand and MM will let me know if it already has that   
   Tagline in its file.   
      
   On a message that has just a few lines in it where the Tagline is in   
   the same area of the screen where the TEB Pops Up, I can't see the   
   Tagline.   
      
   When it does that I Save the message and C&P the Tagline FROM the   
   message in my Save File directory TO MM's Tagline file.   
      
   It's only just a few messages I have to do that for, and I 'think'   
   its because the Mail Reader used to enter the message has something   
   a bit different than what MM expects to see on that line.   
      
   I can't remember if MM has a setting for two different type of Tagline   
   Lines, I know SLMR does.   
      
   It's messages written in SLMR, the MR/2 Mail Reader that You use and I   
   'think' the BlueWave Mail Reader that don't automatically appear in the   
   TEB when I want to grab a Tagline.   
      
   I tried something new today to see if I already had the Tagline that   
   one of Your messages had in it.   
      
   I looked at MM's Online Help screen and saw I could go to a Command   
   Prompt by pressing Ctrl-Z .   
      
   Then I used Buerg's LIST.COM to Search through MM's TAGLINE file to see   
   if I already had the Tagline in it.   
      
   I'm going to try to remember to do that before I type a Tagline into   
   the TEB now, because it's easier for me to type a word or two that's   
   from the Tagline into a Search of MM's Tagline File instead of typing   
   ALL of the Tagline in the TEB only to find out that I already have it   
   in the file.   
      
   I just thought I'd tell You of my discovery.
