I know for a fact that my isp has the messages sent to my address, already separate. I don't actually have to re-separate them, they are already separate and can be downloaded individually. It is really simple to keep messages and their headers delimited once I download them. And I stand by my assertion that two wrongs don't make a right, no matter how well intentioned they are. Specifically, it would be impossible to be 100% accurate in separating messages if the reciever had to do it, and had to munge the >from itself. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
