It's probably a furphy, but I wonder if Google really think that web mail is the best way to go. It is rumoured that ALL staff use the web interface - no choice in the matter. And woe betide the rest of us if we need to sort out wrongly filtered spam - as several of my local church people have been TRYING to do for 3 weeks now. I just can't hack google web mail. There may be one that works though. -- Keith Bainbridge [email protected] 0447 667468
