Gerald -- Adding this to the message composition window would also have the benefit of being readily visible when composing online replies, not just new topics. In short, I like it. Bruce

All elephants aside, I think Bruce was talking about a mistake made once you're already in a group, not when you're looking at your list of groups. (Also, you can't assign icons to groups you're a
