Hmmm. For me, body < 1400 opens an outlook message form, body > 1400 opens IE7. No time to look into this right now, but perhaps this is a windows thing. Don't know why you get windowserror, perhaps permissions??? I'll try and look again later/tomorrow. Cheers, Kev -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
