"From:" header line is generated by the sending application such as Outlook and can be anything. Usually it has the form of either a single email address or a user name between double quotes and an email address between angle brackets. Example: "zayin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. Somtimes the doible quotes around the name are missing. You may also encounter some encoding scheme when accented characters are used. "Received:" header lines is generated by the SMTP servers traversed by the message according to the routing rules. Line format has many variations ! btw: Most email client allows you to see the message source. Just have a look at a few messages you've received. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] The author of the freeware multi-tier middleware MidWare The author of the freeware Internet Component Suite (ICS) http://www.overbyte.be -- To unsubscribe or change your settings for TWSocket mailing list please goto http://lists.elists.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twsocket Visit our website at http://www.overbyte.be
