Well, as a matter of fact, Allen was *not* posting from Entourage. It was NewsWatcher. Here's the header: From: Allen Watson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: Dictionary search error References: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> User-Agent: MT-NewsWatcher/3.2 (PPC Mac OS X) Date: Wed, 05 Jun 2002 11:00:43 -0700 Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Newsgroups: microsoft.public.mac.office.entourage NNTP-Posting-Host: user-vcaums4.dsl.mindspring.com 216.175.91.132 Path: tkmsftngp01!tkmsftngp04!allenw Lines: 1 Xref: tkmsftngp01 microsoft.public.mac.office.entourage:7937 Does this tell you anything? I'm not very literate where headers are concerned. But something else just occurred to me. Allen's return address is @mvps.org and, IIRC, that's a Linux server. As Paul suggested, maybe that's the reason?
