So, as Marck already said, some sorta software *must* be installed on your PC. It listens on port 110 for any POP3 requests and then feeds the mail that it temporarily stored, whichever way, to the program that made the POP3 request - that program happens to be TheBat!, and it gets something that is already on your system, and possibly got mangled somehow on its way there, either on the satellite route, or by the software that buffers the content locally on your end. Now, I don't know much about satellite technique, but I assume it is some sort of proxy. Who configured the machine for you when you got that satellite connection? -- Best regards, Alexander (http://www.neurowerx.de - ICQ 238153981) using v3.0.1.33 on Windows XP Pro Service Pack 2 without smilies :-P Deliplayer2 is playing: "Higher Access" by Cosmosis from the 1998 album 'Synergy' ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.0.1.33 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
