This is a fundamental flaw in the design of the request. There is no syntactic way to tell whether subscribe digest is a request to subscribe in digest mode with a generated password or a request to subscribe in default mode with a password of 'digest'. Of course, we could disallow 'digest' and 'nodigest' as passwords and assume they must be modes, but no one has done that fix. That's a problem in general with positional options. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
