You can setup programs like netscape or elm (and I'm sure many others) to set it up to do that: save to a particular file or user. This, of course, requires the cooperation of the user. Which I hope is the case. Alternatively, the .forward file could be used instead of /etc/aliases, again, with the cooperation of the user. -- The car ran out of gas. --from "Excuses, Excuses" *the* compendium of excuses by Leigh W.
