This is a security feature. Username can't be forged by other users of your webmail interface. See http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=847107&group_id=311&atid=423679 It is possible to port it to stable, but administrator that enables such feature must understand possible consequences of his or her actions. I would argue against making it one click option in stable squirrelmail versions. If you don't care about possible legal troubles when interface is abused, you can edit class/deliver/Deliver.class.php and disable that header. Header causes problems with antispam tools only when email server is in dialup/broadband ip range. If you don't want to see your login name in email header, encrypt it with some two way crypto. -- Tomas ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
