Er, it doesn't generate them. You get to 'add an extra header', which means I get a little input text box into which I can type 'Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED]'. I generate the MID in my head using the time and date (with seconds if I can be bothered to look at my watch, or with just 00 if I'm reading the clock in the task bar). I seldom send more than one message a second (or even per minute), so that's enough. And that subdomain is only used by me, so there should be no collisions (I don't remember the exact name of the domain, but it's generated from my user ID at news.cis.dfn.de, the excellent news server; they allow the use of their domain name to generate message IDs even for messages not transmitted through their service). Cheers, Philip -- Philip Newton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> All opinions are my own, not my employer's. If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.
