So I switch it to Offline mode. However, every minute (when it would otherwise pull down new messages via POP3) it pops up a message askng if I want it to go online. How can I tell it once and for all that I DON'T want it to go online until I specifically tell it to? Thanks in advance.

What you and Charles may be thinking of is that, rightly and properly, most clients drop everything after the '--' when you reply. Anne
