Hm.  I DO always use <tab>.  Not sure what's wrong if it doesn't werk...

Yeh, I agree.  Again, mostly from the standpoint of the email gateway.  Whatever we want to
put in place for moderation of this type of thing is fine by me... the moderation system is
being built to handle ALL objects, and can be easily adapted to do whatever...

Agreed.  The question is:  Do we want it on the road map for Beta?  Or do we want it there
with a statement of "May or may not be done", or do we just want to leave it off and
surprise people with it if it is done... you guys tell me if you have a preferance on
this matter because I don't.  If left up to me, I'll just flag it to "May or may not be
done".
