I note that *YOU* aren't using it John! ;-) (X-Newsreader: Forte Agent 4.2/32.1118) FWIW - I *have* bought and paid for Usenapp. I'm chosing not to use it as Andre is unwilling to meet the challenges I've made. His product MAY be just fine - if so, he should defend it, not hide in the shadows. :-( -- Kind regards, David
