     Routinely, when I bug SendMail in the background menu, a small deformity of a window gets created near the cursor before blossoming into the window I really want.  The Filebrowser also has this problem.  Perhaps it has something to do with attached windows.'

The message sender comes up in 2 pieces':  first the command (Deliver SaveForm Abort) menu is created at one place on the screen, then the main editting window comes up, then the menu jumps over to the main window.'
'
A minor bit of ugliness.  Would be better if they both came up at the same time--or if that is hard, if the menu were created at its ultimate destination, so that it doesn''t jump around on the screen.'

Yes, this is a long-noted problem with ATTACHEDWINDOW, which I have volunteered to fix this week.'
