Actually, I think that header's added by MSWord when it's used as an embedded email editor too. So it would probably have been MS Outlook, or Outlook Express. But that's only an 'I think' level of confidence. ;-) *reads email more carefully* Internet Mail Service is Outlook Express. It used to be called "Internet Mail" back in the IE 2ish days. I guess the X-Mailer header stuck. And I'm glad to see if creates multi-part/alternative emails for HTML. Now if only the list-processor understood such and was able to add boilerplate/process email commands from either part... -- ----------------------------------------------------------- Paul "TBBle" Hampson, MCSE 5th year CompSci/Asian Studies student, ANU The Boss, Bubblesworth Pty Ltd (ABN: 51 095 284 361) Paul.Hampson@Anu.edu.au Of course Pacman didn't influence us as kids.
