On my Laptop I use Thunderbird, which is now run separately from Mozilla,
if that rings any bells..

MP>That said, the first time or two it happened, I did wonder about it!  :D

At times it can be a little annoying when you simply mention the word
Attachment and it pops up a window asking you to attach it. That one
above is the first time it came in handy. I think I must have ignored
the request without telling it to cancel it when I first typed the word
but then it caught me again when I went to send the message.

But yes, this is more passive, although one might wonder what other
words it watches for and reports back to the Mother Ship..    B)

Kidding.. I really like Thunderbird. It is so much nicer to work
with than the Online eMail systems, and I can have it check several
accounts at the same time, and make replies from those accounts.

I think it even works with gMail now, although my older version didn't.
(And I think gMail tries to block remote access like that.)
I tend to not update programs that are working well without a really
good reason. Too often the improvements mess them up..
