Generally speaking > though, it's good netiquette to do as you said: put your large attachments Sorry. I was thinking of it as a code example, not a program. The script in question was 29 lines totaling 376 bytes. I was going to in-line it into the e-mail, to show how short it was, and made an attachment at the last minute, probably thinking it would be easier to look at . I tend to think of text attachments as just sections of an e-mail, and don't think of perl files as executables, since they aren't until you chmod them. Now, please don't tell me there is some mail program that will automatically run a file because it ends in .pl, or begins with #! line ! -Chris ========================================================== Chris Candreva -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- (914) 967-7816 WestNet Internet Services of Westchester http://www.westnet.com/
