Then existing ctm recipients could first install a new ctm_rmail Then later senders could upgrade to a new ctm_smail. That would save others in future too. But good luck if you first try the quicker & more satisfying route of giving those Microsoft addicts a good berating ;-) Cheers, Julian -- Julian Stacey: BSD Unix Linux C Sys Eng Consultants Munich http://berklix.com Mail plain text not quoted-printable, HTML or Base64 http://www.asciiribbon.org
