yep it worked fine while i was using mdk 9.1 with 1.4.4
now when i select "add a column" i get a "close" button appear, expanding 
that window produces an empty window with a close button in the frame.

ok i store sent messages in different folders, i can only "edit as new" 
messages i've sent if they are in the "inbox" or "sent" folders.


i've logged a bugzilla about this one, briefly i email invoice.doc files as 
attachments rather than recreate the message each time. in earlier versions 
i would  "edit as new" then attach the new files and remove the old ones. in 
this latest version when i "edit as new" the attachment icon is not visible 
unless the attachment is a jpeg, (renaming a .doc to .jpg doesnt work) but 
the attachment "icon" is visible in preview mode. and when i simply add new 
.doc attachments to the "edit as new" message i cannot see the attachment 
icon for them either. as i say it worked fine in all earlier versions, and 
i've been using this for what seems like years.

the only work around i could think of was to create the template message 
without atatchments & save it in "drafts", then "copy" it to the "Sent" 
folder before i could "edit as new" add the attachments (but not see that 
i've added them until the messages is in the outbox) & send accordingly.

version 1.4.5 is a de-evolution but thanks for your interest.
cheers
bruce
