This causes cc:Mail users (like me) to get all fiery about people signing their posts with their name and email address, since otherwise there's no way to contact them individually. Other problems with cc:Mail in an internet environment: Nonstandard quoting (appends original message on the end, instead of quasi-standard '>' ...) Internet address management weak at best. No .sig function Lack of headers makes automatic message sorting much harder Philo -- ====================================================================== Philip B Janus ||KEEP THE INFOBAHN FREE!
