On unix machines you can do with just a linefeed, on CPM/DOS-based systems (that is, DOS & Windows), you need CRLF... Also, for compliance sakes ... you miss the date field ... and depending on receiving server's setup, also a subject ... some servers require from, to, subject, and date to be set as minimum ... Alot of mailservers I've had to transfer through refuses to accept mail without the TO field. Rene -- Rene Brehmer This message was written on 100% recycled spam. Come see!
