Message compose temp file disappearing

I have noticed some annoying behavior with Mahogany. There's a slight possibility it's my text editor (TextPad), but that seems unlikely. The problem is that sometimes, when I'm editing a message in the external editor and I go to save the file, the "Save As" button will pop up -- the editor doesn't know where the temp file is. I can look and see where the file originally was (in /Documents and Settings/BrenBarn/Local Data/Temp), but if I navigate to that directory, the file isn't there. I don't see how the text editor could be deleting the file it's currently using, so it seems that somehow Mahogany is pulling the rug out from under it. Has anyone else experienced this behavior. (It doesn't happen with every message, just at random.) Incidentally, what is the situation with adding multithreading to Mahogany? Whenever I have a slow or unreliable connection to my mailserver, Mahogany freezes and/or crashes. This seems like really bad behavior from a program. Even if multithreading isn't added, it seems like there should be some kind of "please wait" notification; as it is, I simply sit staring at a partially-drawn GUI, and as it hangs longer and longer some GUI elements disappear. I have no way of knowing whether Mahogany is waiting for the mailserver or is crashing for some unrelated reason. -- --Brendan Barnwell "Do not follow where the path may lead.
