(However, is the 'M' correct? The line looks a bit short. And I believe the line before the end should contain either a space or a backtick, to show "no more characters". However, apparently Outlook Express is not so finicky, and there are a few people on German-speaking Usenet who take advantage of that, by beginning their posts (or signatures) with begin virus.exe and ending them with "end" and enjoying the wails of OE users "I can't see your posting! There's just an attachment that won't decode!" or something like that. Cheers, Philip -- Philip Newton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> All opinions are my own, not my employer's.
