sorry Marc, you weren't the first to come up with that idea. Myself and Mark Reynolds discussed implementation details of this in Dec 2001/Jan 2002: http://bl.reynolds.net.au/ksi/email/ ; I linked to those mails publicly at least in Sep 2002, in this thread: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg08278.html and possibly earlier. --j.
