Problem 1 solved - just clicked on 'View', 'Message header', 'Show' to switch it off, and then repeated to switch it back on, and that works now.
Any suggestions re problem 2?
2) How can I get The Bat! to search through my address book and suggest names from it as I type in the To: box? At the moment, I have to access the address book manually each time, and that is a bit of a drag.
Sounds Batty, but I'll try reverting to a different skin... I'm on my second machine at the moment, and on this one it does display headers, and I can verify that Innuendo's advice above is correct - that is how you switch the display on and off. I can't remember what the skin is that I'm using on the other machine, so can't quickly check to see if the same thing happens on this machine. But it is pretty clear from the second screenshot that I have 'Show' ticked - when I untick that on this machine, message look the same as on that machine. Clear?
I've used Allofmp3 for a while, without incident. I do feel a little uncomfortable with it, since they're quite plain about being based on a loophole in the Russian copyright law... My main online music purchases have been through emusic, where I've been a member most of a year now. They are pretty good, and through them I discovered a lot of really interesting things that were new to me... But at the moment I'm finding it hard to find my 20 tracks per month (they only advertise a $9.99 40 tracks per month deal, but if you do that for a while and then try to leave, they offer you a cheaper, fewer tracks option).
Thanks, Innuendo, that was what I thought would do it too, but as you can see from the attached image, I have the headings I need selected already, but it doesn't fix it... And f0dder, yes, that's what I want it to do, but it doesn't work. I expect this has something to do with the fact all my settings/addresses, etc. were imported from Outlook when I migrated...
