Yup, current Elm 2.3 does not handle that address due to the = signs also being our delimiter (gee we switched from : to = due to X.400, now we have to do something else.) 2.4 is planned to have a method of escaping/quoting the address. You'll have to wait for 2.4 at present. -- ===================================================================== Sydney S. Weinstein, CDP, CCP Elm Coordinator Datacomp Systems, Inc.
