C'mon, conform! :-) Well, it's better than having no reference at all to whose message is being replyed to. Some systems don't readily allow you to reference what message the user is commenting on, thereby leaving the reader in the dark as to what message the comment is related to. proline: pro-novapple!daveharv | uucp: crash!pnet01!pro-novapple!daveharv | Pro-novapple BBS arpa: crash!pnet01!pro-novapple!daveharv@nosc.mil | 300/1200/2400/9600 Baud Internet: daveharv@pro-novapple.cts.com | 703-671-0416 | Northern Virginia Apple Users Group | P.O.
