   I'm now in a position to test this out, here's how I've set things up:   
      
   - Uplink_A   
   Primary uplink   
   Linked into WINPOINT   
      
   - Uplink_B   
   Secondary uplink   
   Linked into WINPOINT   
      
   Then did this .....   
   - Posted a message in WINPOINT via Uplink_A   
   - Changed the properties of WINPOINT so that Uplink_B is now the Primary   
   uplink.   
   - Waited a while, polled Uplink_B and picked up my own message which I'd   
   posted via Uplink_A   
      
   This is what happened next .....   
   - Message was tossed into my existing WINPOINT area   
      
   I now have two copies of my own message in my WINPOINT area; the original   
   which was sent via Uplink_A and the one I picked up from Uplink_B. The only   
   way I can tell which is which is by looking at the @SEEN-BY's. Is this what's   
   supposed to happen or is it me that still doesn't understand?   
      
   BTW ..... I don't see the "Comment" option on the right-click menu anymore.   
      
   Regards,
