Hello David,
To change the subject line of an email message:
1.  Reply to an email with ctrl+r.
2.  Press the menu key.
3.   Press 7 for headers.
4.  Down arrow until you here subject.
5.  Hold right arrow to get to the end of the line.
6.  Backspace with b-chord or the star key until the whole line for subject
is deleted.
7.  type in your new subject line.
8.  Press OK to return to the message you are replying to.

Docking Station:
No, there is only one docking station for the BP, and it definitely unfolds.
It's kind of hidden though.  You need to reach under the docking station
towards the front, underneath where the space bar is, for example.  You will
feel a little indentation.  Put your fingers in that indentation and pull
out towards you.  A wrist rest should come out.

Music:
I am not to familiar with music downloader sites, but I don't think there
are any legal ones that are free.  However, the Icon and BP contain an
excellent radio tuner with thousands of stations that you can listen to when
ever you have an internet connection.

New Version:
Guido at LevelStar has said that he doesn't know when and if the 2.2.53
public beta will be released.  It isn't really a beta, because it is very
stable.  The only thing that it changes is the way the tuner access shout
cast (where all the radio stations come from) so you should have no problems
upgrading.  I recommend that you go ahead and upgrade.
HTH,

Subject: Re: [icon-discuss] Re: NFB Newsline

sorry for not changing the subject line I tryed but I could not figure it
out. I have A few question's. 
1. is there 2. different dokking stations for the BP? because I keep hearing
folded and that it has something to rest the arm on but I have one and it
does not fold its just A regular keybord and it does not have A thing for
resting the arm and the only thing that folds is the case. Also does any one
know of any websights that I can download music from for free with out A
kapsha? and is there A way for me to creat extra folders on the email to
save emails? like for example if I want to keep mesages that I get from ebay
I would creat A ebay folder and transfer all the mesages from ebay that i
have in my inbox and in my trash to the ebay folder I ask because I tryed it
and my mesages would not transfer to it when I selected them it was eather
moove to inbox or clear selected or delete selected and does anyone know
when the 2.0.53 version will be out? On Fri, 22 Apr 2011 16:07:06 -0500,
