A nice idea, but I've noticed that the "dribble" approach appears more prone to losing one or a few parts of a multipart posting. I don't know if there's a good reason for this or if it is simply a skewed observation, but it is a nuisance to have 9 of 10 parts -- usually no more useful than having none. *sigh* Deven -- Deven T.
