That's how it should be for a customer who doesn't want to look behind the scene and understand how it's working. But such a customer would not be in this list :-) TF> Outlook usually does that. The important word is usually. Did you ever see HTML-mail comming from Lotus Notes displayed in Outlook? Horrible and completely different from the look inside Notes. The other way around is the same. TF> And if there are clients out there apart from TB! that don't, we TF> should use them as benchmarks. There are a lot, Lotus Notes as mentioned, ThunderBird (the other TB *g*), Foxmail, YAMC and they all have their issues and glitches in displaying HTML.

Outlook displays perfectly if you stay in the M$ environment. The same is true for Notes if you stay there and for many other applications. I just wanted to say that even Outlook is not the Non-Plus-Ultra for any HTML mail. -- Regards, Feli :de-bb: The Bat! 4.2.36.1 on Windows XP 5.1 2600 Service Pack 3 Use recursive procedures for recursively-defined data structures.
