I too have found a very high hit rate since I started to feed it and probably does not need any intervention by me with REGEX - BUT dare I say it - yes ok sad as I am I enjoy the thrill of REGEX'ing the little bastards with my own fair hand and get a great thrill in junking some of my own stuff. I get on average 20 - 30 junk emails a day so there is plenty of training going on and enough for me to attack on a personal level. -- Morpheus "It's like wiping your arse with silk" ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.00.00 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
