My work email address has it going out as Gary W. Smith as we have 10+ Gary Smiths' in the organization. Some people use it because they can. Maybe this rule in conjunction with others might make sense under a certain condition but it probably isn't that praticle for business use. Hope that helps, Gary Smith

It seems pretty common to me. I have quite a few examples in my inbox right now, from five different people within the last few days (one doesn't use a period after the middle initial). And of course that's the "From:" line I normally use. -- Keith C. Ivey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Washington, DC
