That's what I was alluding at; I was assuming he meant that the message would arrive intact with the entire subject line without breaks or truncation. > One note on OE 6, it truncates the subject line at 266 chars silently. Outlook 2000 does the same thing, and it won't let you enter a subject line longer than 256 characters (but it split it with <CRLF>+<TAB> after every 74 chars.) dZ. -- DZ-Jay [TeamICS] -- To unsubscribe or change your settings for TWSocket mailing list please goto http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/twsocket Visit our website at http://www.overbyte.be
