I actually agree with this, not to say that it wouldn't be difficult to write that function, but I think it would be a definite nicety. I've always thought that the best way to do it would be to construct the message in its entirety, this would include to, from, etc. Then whatever smtp library is available simply takes that message and a server and handles the rest. I don't think that the current functionality should be stripped out or anything, but that this other "interface" exist for a much more intuitive emailing system. -carl -- Carl J.
