Re : OK, I have to ask, Do you inform the person? That is just it - No way to inform the person, After receiving an e-mail that aks questuions or makes other statements indicating that they wish a reply. The reply bounces in different manners, either *user will not accept *not known e-mail address *Automated message to go to "such and such" and request that you be added to their address book *and few other automatic reponses. This means that we have no way of informing them. Even though we may reply to their message, I guess that they may think that we won't reply. My origianl message was an attempt to reach those some of the individuals that use such programs and let them know why they are not getting replies. All I am asking is that if you use such a program, do what is necessary to be able to receive a reply that you expect to get. Wayne http://gillespieil.com/gillespie/
