I totally agree with you on this subject, but there's another way to execute macros from a distance. As I suggested in mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] it's possible to create a filter that writes the receiving message to file and uses that same file as a template for a reply. I suggested that as a way to remote control TB to collect files from your own pc to your current location. Likewise it would be rather easy to have a filter save the message as a batch file that's executed by the same filter. The only next thing you need is to be careless about the password you're using with that feature (the filter conditions) and you could be way over your head in trouble. That's more likely than your scenario. Especially since it's already in the list archive. Of course complaining about abuse by someone else would be like complaining about a burglar after you've left your front door open with a note on your window that you're gone. -- Groetjes, Roelof ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.01.3 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
