I have custom tags titled "minimal install related", "nutrition",       "visual Bible", etc.              A more common use might turn out to be saving a search for a keyword in       body of a message and displaying in order of "time of day" posted.              Clearer?       Thanks for asking.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
