There is something seriously wrong if your webmail is trying to execute the php code embedded inside an email. Is it a proprietory webmail system that Earthlink is using? -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.com.hk Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design & Hosting * Internet & Intranet Applications Development * /* If people see that you mean them no harm, they'll never hurt you, nine times out of ten! */ It looks proprietary to me, like some home-grown app that they may have developed internally. Maybe I should just make a fix and send it to their support staff...it's really frustrating. -- Barry C.
