Then you find that everyone who replied to that posting has also sent a poison message. This may be Microsoft's (the root of most evil in the universe) fault. On the other hand, Qualcomm is not helping me fix this. IMHO, all attachments (including vcards, logo paintbrush files, etc.) should be stripped from postings by the technet listserver before distribution. regards, Jerry Cupples Interphase Corporation Dallas, TX USA http://www.iphase.com ################################################################ TechNet E-Mail Forum provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8c ################################################################ To subscribe/unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the body: To subscribe: SUBSCRIBE TechNet <your full name> To unsubscribe: SIGNOFF TechNet ################################################################ Please visit IPC's web site (http://www.ipc.org) "On-Line Services" section for additional information.
