JR: you are correct .. I in fact got the "Resend" solution by
sleuthing through newsgroups info. Whereas the MVP asked me and other
folks with the same problem to "click" on the bcc line. Gimme a
break! ... they of all people ought to know better.....
On the subject of submitting suggestions for improvement and or fixes
to Microsoft: do you know where I can find a list of suggested
changes by Customers, and the Microsoft priority list with
implementation datest? ...or, as an Entourage Customer maybe you have
been proactively solicited by them for such a list already?
PS. I still have a year old unresolved issue with Entourage, a really
annoying one. We've been to the moon and back with MVPs to no avail.
The bcc issue is a just a minor annoyance; but a real one.
