For now delete the message and all should be fine. As to why the message is there and what control characters were missing?? i'll keep looking, i suspect it has to do with MSDOS vs UNIX. Stay tuned... -- --------------- C'est la vie, C'est le guerre, C'est la pomme de terre Mail: Imagen Corp. 2650 San Tomas Expressway Santa Clara, CA 95052-8101 UUCP: ...{decvax,ucbvax}!decwrl!imagen!turner AT&T: (408) 986-9400
