Alan, I guess that G.E.Capital is a company and they are conneted to the internet through a firewall/gateway/whatever funcy system. To protect their own employees this gateway filters the incoming mails for whatever strange contend. And if the contend is not ok they refuse the message. Therefore this is not a behavior of the VFB listserver, it is the behavior of one of our listmembers(lurkers) email connection. DOn't worry, keep on posting. Rene Germany - using a private email account, no company filter! I'm free
