After testing a few things it turned out that only 'from' wasn't being set, but I changed things to use my_hdr and it seems OK so far. Funnily enough I used to use my_hdr a long time ago but switched to 'set from'. Not sure why now, but looking at the man page it looks like it can't be set on the fly like my_hdr. -Dave -- All language designers are arrogant.
