Sorry! Couldn't resist. ;-) I had a guy working for me who used to write the whole bl**dy email in the frigging Subject: field! Arrrrgh! When I asked him why didn't he use the body of the message like 'normal' people do, he argued that he intended saving me the time of opening the message to read it. Sometimes you just can't win. Anyway, as others asked - how long is too long for this purpose? -- Regards, Mick
