I think y'all have "accounts" and "identities" a little confused. They are basically the SAME thing. You have an "account name" which contains a single identity consisting of your name, email address, signature, other personal settings,etc. You can have several "accounts" in a single profile and you can send/reply to email/news in ONE account using the FROM address of another account. I do this all the time. I don't understand the purpose of having multiple identities in ONE account when you can, in essence, send out as any account from any other account. Maybe I'm missing something here, care to expand on this a bit ?? -- Jay Garcia - Netscape Champion Novell MCNE-5/CNI-Networking Technologies-OSI UFAQ - http://www.UFAQ.org
