In order to even use it at all, I had to paste it into the text editor and reconstruct it into one line. Then, there are email clients that can't properly handle mailtos and other URLs that use the proper "%20" space character. The "RFCs" are attempts at standardization, so that a wide variety of software and OSs can deal with common aspects of formatting when communicating with each other. It seems therefore perfectly reasonable to me for software developers to try and adhere to the RFCs when they write their code. Perhaps developers like MS create "lenient" software because their own software so routinely "breaks" the accepted standards in the first place? Even if this seems convenient in some ways for users of their software, I'm not so sure it's the best approach to these issues. -- Melissa PGP public keys: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]&Body=Please%20send%20keys TB! v2.10.01 on Windows XP 5.1.2600 Service Pack 1
