Rasmus,
Well, if ever I had leverage for asking Earthlink to fix the
problem, I think it would be now. Forwarding an email from the person
credited with starting the scripting language that they are using for
their system that basically illustrates their recklessness should do the
job. At least I would hope so.
By the way, thanks for getting PHP going. I love having an
alternative to ASP.

I'm sorry, but if your webmail system just sent me your password file,
you should run, not walk, to another provider. This is a list about
PHP. There is going to be example PHP snippets all over it. Deal with
it.
