Oh yes, I realized that. I was just babbling.

Yep, I've tried X-Ray. IMO, it's pretty wack to run yet another
program in the tray just to fool around with X-tra headers. It's a
novel idea, but it's not for me. :-)

LOL Yeah the loop thing is pretty funny.
I got it to work just by having an Outbox filter run the perl script
when I sent mail, and it wrote the song to a file.
But, the catch is that I could only get it to display the last song
written to the file. (I was using %PUT="" in my template).
So, I ditched that idea. I still have plenty of stuff to play with
though!

The resistance to an idea increases as the
square of its importance.
