Chuckle, that makes 2 of us, Joanne. Webmail, IMNSHO, is an invention by the marketing drones so they can feed you a bunch of commercials that apparently come with your mail & which OE will no doubt try to decode, thereby loading up your machine with yet another winderz viri. I've opted out of that scene to the maximum available. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
