For the mailing list, you need to _attach_ an image, not _embed_ it.

In this particular case your description was enough for everyone to know
what you were seeing, but bear it in ind for the future: attach, don't
embed.

The line represents the border between present and future. To get rid of
it, you have three options:

a. Examine the dates carefully, and correct them if they are not correct.

b. If the dates _are_correct -- if you really intended to enter future
transactions(*) -- then each transaction will move above the blue line
automatically when its date is reached. The blue line disappears when
there are no future-dated transactions.

c. (For the sake of completeness) Invent a time machine, jump forward
past the dates of the under-the-blue-line transactions, sync your
computer top a time source, and run GnuCash.

Yews, when you commit a transaction by pressing Enter, the transaction
automatically moves to its proper place based on the Date (and on Num
within date, if you use the Num column).

If you want to enter future transactions but not have them appear in any
register till their actual date -- for instance, you've set up your
credit card for automatic payments, so you get notice weeks in advance
that there will be a withdrawal from your checking account -- you can
enter a scheduled transaction (in the Actions menu).
