You can stop this by having the auto-linkiing turned off, deselecting the family category in your own address book entry or by setting up a mail rule to de-assign this category to any mail coming from your own address. -- Barry Wainwright Microsoft MVP (see http://mvp.support.microsoft.com for details) Seen the Entourage FAQ pages? - Check them out: <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/toc.html> -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
