It could be a coincidence, but I suspect spiders of a sort scamming my email address from the From: line and possibly from my signature below... I've noticed some folks embedding text in their email address such as: chris@gSrPiAeMrwhite.com (Remove SPAM to send me mail) Is this considered bad etiquette to use this in the From: header or is this just not even the problem? ...cj -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Christopher J.
