maybe the grey matter is a bit muddy this morning, but... what typically happens after you submit an email address to a "mailing list"? is the email address parsed into a huge file using some fancy server side scripting? i'm assuming that one must use server side scripting of some sort to automate the process...i can't imagine that someone sits around typing email addresses into a huge list. <tip type="reminder"> whenever venting about a client / situation via email, make damn sure to check your header so you don't send a copy of your malicious / libelous rantings to those who are the subjects. </tip> jason ************************************************* j a s o n e . b u r k HALSTEAD | architects [ 317.684.1431 ] http://www.bsu.edu/World2000/research/burk/ http://www.halstead-architects.com jasonb at halstead-architects.com [ jdog at 020.co.uk ] icq # | 33425254
