Seriously, there are still people out there using software needing this. So, the "past tense" doesn't really come into the equation. It is more a question of priorities in supporting it or not, a decision a company like GMX might not be making, as the y may nit realize there is something to decide. > Is it so expensive, though? Regardless of how great the actual costs are: Yes. Everything that costs something is in company terms "expensive" - as long as there is a cheaper alternative. The old mail servers of GMX are still good and running, so it would be expensive to change them. Related to that are two other things, the manpower needed and the inconveniences for GMX customers. Remember 12 months ago when the had a major overhaul of there hardware structure. Lots of people (incl. me) had problems connecting and getting mail for some weeks. During this period many customers became ex-customers recommending *not* to use GMX. One of my brothers was one of them. > GMX does add the character into mails received via my pro-account. :-( Hey, you are a paying customer ... But I concur with Peter's statement - - and find it really annoying that he is in the wrong - that PRO accounts should use the newer servers. > Yhey do change the contents of my mail. IMHO it is not acceptable in > any case (free or not). You are right if there wasn't a technical reason for it. Sadly there was (and may still be). So historically some severs still alter the message, which I too find wrong. Much more I don't like the way GMX deals with customer'S requests not just on this topic. They do have a good support but don't feel inclined to really answer mails on more general problems like the one discussed here. - -- Dierk Haasis http://www.Write4U.de http://Interest.Write4U.de/pongo PGP keys available: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Subject=SendMyPGPkeys The Bat 1.54 Beta/14 on Windows 95 4.0 67306684 C Silence is the virtue of fools.
