I agree.  In fact, I never did use any of the proudly proclaimed 
features of IncrediMail .  I used it only because when I accidently 
clobbered my previous email program
Pegasus,

IncrediMail  was the first replacement  email program I found on the 
internet.

Yes.   I simply ignored their special features as long as I could get it 
to send simple emails.  

When several of you on the tutor list showed me that IncrediMail caused 
frustration, I agreed to, and did, switch to Thunderbird. 

Before Danny's suggestion, I did not know of the existence of Thunderbird.


Now if I can only get Thunderbird to quit treating the up and down arrow 
as a page up or page down,
whenever it's at the top line or bottom line of what it thinks is a page.
