Dennis, when you say that the attribution was wrong do you just mean that it read: On 4/8/02 6:54 PM, michael.woody at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Because if you did, then there is nothing odd about that. Since the From: is all that is referenced to determine the attribution line, the michael.woody part is assumed to be the display name (particularly since it is in quotes) and [EMAIL PROTECTED] is assumed to be the email address (Since it is between carats). Unfortunately your attribution line is going to be dependent on what the person sending you email chooses to display. This is, of course, as it should be. The whole point of an attribution line is to give credit to the person that wrote the original message. If they opt to be known and quoted as [EMAIL PROTECTED] then so be it... -Remo Del Bello -- "When trouble arises and things look bad, there is always one individual who perceives a solution and is willing to take command.
