There is no simple means to discriminate between a Message Viewer window, a received message window, or an outgoing message window. There is no means of getting or setting the selected text. While you can create a new outgoing message with properties, you *cannot* determine that the front message is outgoing and *then* set its properties. Apple has really dropped the ball. -- Chris
