Hi Eric, (Hey you! Get back to work. ;-)

Thanks for feedback. I've been focussed on this bit of iCab trivia 
for a coupla days.

[Note: as ya prolly know, that "mail-to" box in iCab's prefs makes 
this difference -> if I leave that box unchecked, selecting "Send 
Email" in iCab will bring me into my default email app, which is 
Eudora. But if I check that box, I get the iCab compose window.]

I was in (virtual) touch with another iCab user. I asked him to send 
a test mail to himself and to me, using iCab. Both arrived.

My theory: reason you and I cannot get this to work is that we have 
removed our email addresses from Internet Control Panel. (I'm 
guessing that iCab relies on that to generate a "from" address for 
the mail that we compose and then try to send.) So, no "from" info 
available. So, our mail will be ignored/rejected, possibly as soon as 
it reaches our own ISP. (?)

Whaddya think?

Mary
