No, I don't fear anybody, I've nothing to hide when I'm sending an e-mail. Yet, I think there is too much personal information in the message header and that is something I don't like. I'm using a tunneler to surf on the Internet, not that I have to hide anything but nobody needs to know where I've been, the website I've visited and I hate the idea that sometimes, just by accident or popup, you are directed to a website where they can obtain quite some information of you. -- Best regards, Dick ___________________________________________________________ Cannot open file "D:\Documents and Settings\Dick\Application Data\tagzilla-en.txt" Using The Bat! v3.5 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 2 Privacy is your right...only if you defend it: http://www.metropipe.net/landing.cgi?id=cloggy ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.5 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
