There is the possiblity that the mail sent by Jim was fine, but somewhere in the transmission and subsequent re-transmission the mail message was modified. I cannot see a commercial product getting the HTML tags so wrong. A sinister scenario is that the mail was intercepted, parsed for content, then passed on. Some junior developer was working on the sinister software, and made a mistake. The mistake was corrected later, which would explain why Jim's messages are fine now. Hummm... Not that I am paranoid - but something changed the mail! Nerd From Hell
