Agreed. And then there are those that just put up with it by using local filters to move it to a JunqueMail folder, which I pack up and send to the ftc here in the states a couple of times a day. As for those who subscribe to such a service, making *me* jump thru hoops to answer a question *they* asked in the first place, the heck with them and the camel that rode in on them. There's probably better ways to say it though, my apologies. -- Cheers, Gene AMD K6-III@500mhz 320M Athlon1600XP@1400mhz 512M 99.12% setiathome rank, not too shabby for a WV hillbilly
