Also, movemail hated "po:alfred@globeset.com" -- it would only work with "po:alfred"). I don't know if this is a bug or a feature ... :-) -- Work: Alfred.Correira@GlobeSet.Com PH: 512.427.7715 Home: Correira@Flash.Net FAX: 512.427.5101 PGP: 55 42 BB 2E 17 E9 0D 9C 0B 51 66 58 58 96 1E 45 --- There is no cure for birth or death save to enjoy the interval. -- George Santayana
