Joe -- will do. Like I said, I didn't realize that the "age" box related to the search; I assumed that it only contolled the number of threads displayed on the list.

The "trace" function is great, as long as you anticipate which threads you'll want to check back into later.

Mention of tracing reminds me of something to add to the "wish list":

If there were an easier way to make "wholesale" deletions from one's tracer list, my list would be considerably shorter. Like a check box at each topic, so you could check 8 or 10 or more threads and then click "Delete All."

Killing one at a time is such a slow process that I never delete as many as I intend. Also, now that I have accumulated such a cumbersome collection of traced threads, I'm a bit reluctant to add more.
