I've been caught by that, too, but (sometimes embarrassingly) I've been caught by other aspects of e-mail addressing. Specifically, it's possible for a message to have a Reply-To address that is different from the sender's address. It's possible for a message to have a long list of recipients that is truncated by the display settings of the mail client you're using. If you're not careful, you can end up "replying" to a lot of people who never wrote to you. I have developed the habit of ALWAYS checking who is going to get a message before I even start composing it. -- Stuart Rogers Technical Communicator Phoenix Geophysics Limited Toronto, ON, Canada +1 (416) 491-7340 x 325 srogers phoenix-geophysics com "Developers explain How the Product Works.
