Yes, several times and also the computer for good measure.

\o/  Bingo.  I hadn't realised that those references to list etc. were for 
clicking on - I thought that was just a list of what was covered - rather 
than effectively a list of what wasn't covered. 

I've had a nice time just now trying and then adapting all of them.  And KMail 
is now behaving how I like it to. :-))

Thank you very much, Werner.
