Thank you very much. It's nonsense indeed. This is yet another case of tail wagging the dog. Are standards not designed to accomodate user needs, instead of the other way around? This reminds me of a system admin that refuses to add a mime type in order to maintain a vanilla apache distribution. Pete Peter Chen email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
