Likely you alone will not be able to. I know we do not and cannot release information like that without either consent (which in this case will not be desirable to obtain) or a document from the court (search warrent, cipena (I know I spelled that wrong), etc.) There are laws in some nations (like here in Canada) that say threats are bad (an arrestable offense maybe). I would phone the police, and they can direct you how to proceed. It is possible they can obtain the information from Yahoo, while you will not be able to. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- __o Bradley Arlt Security Team Lead _ \<_ [EMAIL PROTECTED] University Of Calgary (_)/(_) I should be biking right now.
