Robert, you are missing the point. The scenario I am talking about is a typical, comsumer oriented ISP scenario. In this scenario I am not in a position to tell my users "go read a Howto" and neither am I able to control their client settings. In the scenario I am discussing right now, I try to find a way to adopt to what they have. Regardless of the client they use I always want to give them a consistent view on their data. p...@rick
