 Hmm... Good question. I still have ver 5.50.4522.1200 on the laptop
and I know there were some changes tween it and the version you have
which according to the headers is 6.00.2600.0000

 Ah. That would make a difference.

 The only thing that comes to mind as far as 5.5 goes would be to
setup a second identity w/ the same info as the main acct, just a
diff id. Say `Steve - work' and `Steve - TC' but that could get annoying.
If you were using outlook 2000 (which is also on the laptop) then
there's an option under the Actions menu. 

 Actions->New Mail Message Using->Plain Text/Microsoft Rich Text/HTML

 Not having OE6 I don't know if they added that to it or not.

 I still do files and stuff the old fashioned way, encode and import
as the body of the msg. Html would work abt the same way. When they
get here I just cut-n-paste to a new file and decode.
