That makes some sense, but it's questionable to count the first step as an opt-in, since it could come from anyone. Regardless, Bob is right that "double opt-in" is a spammer phrase, and it's clearer (and better for one's image) to use "confirmed opt-in". -- Keith C. Ivey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Washington, DC
