I erased deleted messages and ran VacuumMail, and so far Mail.app is behaving a lot better. I've closed/restarted Mail.app a couple of times, and not had the problems I was having before. Now if 10.5.2 will just fix a few other bugs and add the ability to set line wrapping, I'll be a happy camper. Thanks to all for the advice. Rick
