I do believe I recall seeing "pacbel" in the headers too. Could be from the same source. I have deleted, so I can't double chk it. I REALLY appreciate Linux for it's robustness when it comes to virus/worm/trojan threats. While that MAY not always be as it is, I will DEFINITELY enjoy not having to CONSTANTLY be on edge about the next threat. That's tiring for me! ;-) Take care. --Angus "Let us not look back in anger or forward in fear, but around in awareness."--James Thurber *********************************************** ~Linux Powered by Mandrake 9.1~ *********************************************** ~Reg.
