In the same way I could ask "why should anyone need to install Mail, when he wants to convert domain names to punycode". In my opinion this has much to do with URLs, so it makes sense to put this in the Url component... And you could argue wheter an email address is a Url - I don't find that too strange. regards, Derick -- Components mailing list Components@lists.ez.no http://lists.ez.no/mailman/listinfo/components
