Not everybody must like me :)) I cant go too much lower anyway :)) So, until it is for the good cause... >> Or do you see any solution how it could be done? > I add a header to incoming emails with X-Ray before TB has a chance to > see them.

Oh, crying out loud... Please. "Unethical". Server side spam filters do it every day. I did not follow the thread, so if I hurt some of my good buddies here: it is a discussion for me. Also, I have to admit, at 5am, if I dont see cars approaching the intersection and I have a red lamp, well, I stop, carefully examine the scene (yes, for those kind of cars, too :), and go thru the red. It is a practical thing. Rules are made to make the lives easier and to be bent if necessary.

So I will do it :) -- Vili ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.99.07 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
