Why send on in a way appearing to come from the original sender something which the original sender did no send? In this case I should think it is quite sensible to forward or fake a reply in order to get the message contents off to a third party. I suppose one might make the case for sending encrypted mail for such routine matters as office supply requisitions or the like that end up going to the wrong person (you) and which you want to direct over to the right person in a form that s/he can read, but the right answer is to have the original party send to the proper person the first time anyway. I should probably get off of my soapbox now :-) % % Thanks, % % Steve HTH & HAND :-D -- David T-G * There is too much animal courage in (play) davidtg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx * society and not sufficient moral courage.
