I'll take it as a compliment that you think better of me than I actually am :-) On the other hand I wasn't really chastising anybody. Just pointing out that the subscriber who makes use of a tool is not necessarily the one who should be thought badly of (i.e. rather than the tool's author). And mainly I was trying to find a way to seque into the question about a tester for authors of autoresponders. I happen to be contemplating implementing one or more such things as companions to a delivery tool, and I even though I think I know some things about how they ought to operate, I just know I am going to make at least one blunder along the way. Yours, -mm-
