I wonder if that's because it is free (well, you get it when you pay for 
Windows) ?

I suspect alst that's why many people are using Outlook [express] as their 
email client and *still* have the default set to HTML emails even though it has 
been proved time and time again that this is the quickest way to pass on 
virusses (let's not go down the route of plurals please !) as plain text emails 
cannot pass them on.

I have learned a new word today then - I never knew that. Thanks. I love 
learning new stuff - my problem is my internal RAM is a bit suspect these days 
and keeps dropping a few bits here and there :o(

You'd probably [not] be suprised to hear that I did too!

On the other hand, how many people still persist in using 'Object Orientated' 
instead of 'Oriented' and so on. Drives me nuts it does !


Cheers,
Norman.
