Default What Happened To The Connection Box In WLM?

Hi, DSH.

Once you get the progress window opened (as the others said, or
double-click the "anemic little textual message" in the lower right
corner, the right end of the Status Bar; you DO have the Status Bar turned
on, don't you?), click the Pushpin in the lower right corner of that
progress window. This will keep that window open until you dismiss it in
some way, such as by clicking Hide or the red-corner X or just by clicking
on the Reading Pane or other location to move Windows' focus to that
window.

Depending on how YOU use OE/WM/WLM, this little window can be a blessing
or an irritation - or both at different times.


How so? One can always click HIDE and close it quickly.

This behavior is the same in OE, in WM and in WLM. But you may have set
the pushpin in OE so long ago that you have forgotten that you ever did
it. Like I did. ;^}


Nope.

There is no "PUSHPIN" on this progress box in OE.

The Connection Box which showed progress in the downloading and
transmission of files, with Hide, Stop and Details Buttons...

It was a very useful progress indicator in OE -- as well as a handy
switch to turn downloading, or transmission off ---- quickly

WLM seems to have only an anemic little textual message in the lower
right corner...

Or am I missing something?
