At home I use Eudora, which understands these kinds of messages, but the point I'm making is that some people don't ever see your messages because they are so non-standard(perhaps Microsoft). Cheers, Bob [Tom Mariner] I presume you are referring to MSN which up to now has been a somewhat non-standard mail interface. Although I have had no trouble with this list, one partner on Netcom seemed unable to read my attachments. Well, the wait is over -- the new upgrades to 2.5 of MSN makes it a (seemingly) totally compliant mail interface. The upgrade ain't for the faint of heart if you want to keep using Outlook for your groupware, but it has cured all the previous problems. Tom
