Questions & observations

1. Why is it that in some posts to this list, the Reply-To field of the
email header contains the list's email address, and in other posts it
contains the poster's email address?

2. I am now using multiple windows in my little (but growing 8^) app. I have
created a secondary window that can be dismissed via an OK button or a
Cancel button. I am running my app along with a couple of other Win apps.

When I press OK, my program displays a message box asking for confirmation
to modify data. If I confirm that intention, the data is changed and the
window is closed. When the secondary window is closed, my app loses focus
altogether, and one of the other running apps becomes the foreground
process.

On the other hand, when I press Cancel, no message box is used or needed,
and when the secondary window closes, focus returns to my main window as
intended. I can however cause my program to move into the background simply
by inserting a call to message_box() immediately before my closeWindow()
call.

I have tried adding setFocus() calls before and after the closeWindow()
calls, and that strategy helps not.

It is evident that message_box() (or its interaction with Win32lib) is
causing the problem, and I would like to
a. register the observation that this behavior seems erroneous;
b. ask what is the workaround, and has a fix been applied in Win32lib (if
appropriate), or is a fix planned for message_box() (if appropriate)?

Thanks for all info.
George
