Good point. Hrm. Now, is this a user preference, something out of the way until you need it, or are the two simply equally used tools.

Oh, here's something that makes me absolutely nuts. In the text box where I'm typing now, it used to be that when I tried to scroll beyond the end of the text with the arrow keys, the cursor stayed at the end of the text. Now it gets transported magically to the top of the text with the next keystroke. The only safe way to position the cursor at the end of the text (e.g., to append more text) is by using the mouse, which is awkward. Can this be put back the way it was?

I guess the 1/50, 51/100 thing is doable. But consider: Those people who go through the entire thread anyways, like me, will consume the same bandwidth.
BTW: Billie is done with some artwork I wanted for the 'special thread'. Should be ready soon. ;^) I do want to wait until, stylistically, FR is stationary and stable.

A further suggestion. Is it possible to preserve the "To:" field in all replies found by the sender's self-search page? For example, when I see this reply in my self-search page, it will tell me that I made a reply in this thread, but it won't remind me whom I addressed.
I just know that three weeks from now I'm going to be saying, "Gosh, I made a really brilliant comment to John Robinson on some thread or other, now where was it?" Or not. But you get the picture.

A further further suggestion. When a thread is deleted, the replies made on that thread should not be indexed with the self-search feature. It's maddening to see the traces of replies to me that can no longer be read.
