But there is a good reason behind not being able to edit incoming mail: It is not yours. The text belongs to the sender - if you want it or not, there is an international law for it (Copyright). It's the same with hardcopies (letters you get through the post for instance), you can annotate them but not edit. Another reason is that e-mails can nowadays - at last - being used as evidence showing the flow of communication. If you edit the e-mail, perhaps even without changing the references (like date, sender, server way, well, all the included headers), e-mail as such ca no longer be used as valid evidence. -- Dierk Haasis http://www.Write4U.de http://Zoo.Write4U.de PGP keys available: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Subject=SendMyPGPkeys The Bat 1.61 on Windows 95 4.0 1212 C Die Trunkenheit vermehrt sch�n zwei sch�ne Dinge - Mut und Liebe.
