How does one put into words what one finds confusing? When I read it I wasn't sure if it was: From: [email protected] To: person1 To: person2 or To: person1, person2 or To: person1 To: person2 or To: person1 -to person2 or To: person1 -to person2 Now, all of this may seem absurd to the technically inclined, but for the rest of us, in many cases if it isn't spelled out step by step, we're lost. That's why in many cases when I have a problem my first resort is searching for examples on the web. Man pages are usually my last resort. Arthur
