Thanks for the hint. All of these suggestions have been noted and printed and will be kept for future reference.
I mess with the menus very little and the time span in between makes it not easy to do.
I fixed the email mess up which originally started this thread. As for the menu mess up - I deleted the user and then copied
from another when I reset her up. That worked. Will have to download the patch so future stuff is ok.
Thanks for to everyone for all the responses given here.
