off topic, but how many times do we have to tell gmail users they have to have 2 accounts, one to send to and one to receive? Otherwise gmail thinks the echo from a mailing list is a duplicate and deletes it, making the poor user think his message didn't get posted. I had, many years ago, some lengthy conversations phone conversations with google about that policy, and basically that is not open for discussion, so either go someplace else like your own ISP's mail server, or get a second account at gmail so you get the echo back. I bailed out of that scene years ago, and now my ISP, the local cable tv system, spent some time setting up dovecot and with the exception of ignoreing fetchmails dele commands after downloading a message because its also serving up imap from the same database, forceing me to login from a web browser and delete the old msgs I've already pulled 2-3 times a week. Thats a PITA too, but its far less of one than dealing with gmail. /rant off Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
