This is especially true of email links, which are generally long and unintelligible by themselves. I have something set up that stores a link to every email I send, so I can easily link to follow-ups in my active Org items. As a result, I end up with *lots* of stored links, which makes this a real struggle. Thanks for listening, -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
