Sjoerd, do you have any comments? I don't see how this could be handled in a better way and I don't think many users will run into this problem, so I don't intend to do anything about it... however, maybe you have a good idea I couldn't think of. -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
