You are :-) This headers seems to be necessary for software on recipients side to get additional informations. This software will parse the headers which are defined: ^Header-Field-Name: Content So everything from beginning of a line 'til the colon is the name of the header field, the rest is value. So Comment: X-NCC-RegID: This is a rather awkward way to insert headers!!! Will, if headers are parsed to e.g. a hash, end up in $HEADERS['Comment'] = "X-NCC-RegID: This is a rather awkward way to insert headers!!!" while X-NCC-RegID: This is a rather awkward way to insert headers!!! would end up in $HEADERS['X-NCC-RegID'] = "This is a rather awkward way to insert headers!!!" If software tries to verify validity of a mail by looking for "$HEADERS['X-NCC-RegID']" it would not succeed with first solution. The principle is the same as for e.g. 'From:' header: TB! is looking for a header line ^From: ... and not for 'From:' somewhere _within_ one header line do decide whom the mail is from :-) HTH Pit -- Regards Peter Palmreuther mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (The Bat! v1.60c on Windows 2000 5.0 Build 2195 Service Pack 2) An arm's just an arm 'till it's wrapped 'round a shoulder-Iris Dement ________________________________________________________ Current Ver: 1.60c FAQ : http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
