I think it would be good to recommend the use of a "threaded" email client when participating in the PHP mailing lists. Most every mail client I've ever used has this threaded message viewing capability, people just don't seem to make use of it. It's fairly annoying to see someone come along days after a post is answered and provide the exact same answer again. Mailing list threads are best viewed as threads, not single messages. If you need a threaded email client, I can invite you to a good one, GMail. Contact me off-list. -- Greg Donald Zend Certified Engineer http://gdconsultants.com/ http://destiney.com/
