The more people shout about it the better though. > Well I've had the ftp tool crash about 50% of the time I've used it so far. Also, it can't cope with a directory with a lot of files in it - It just gets slower and slower building up the display, then after about 6 minutes crashes - most usefull. Also, I've noticed that it often fill in the from details of a different user to the one I am when sending EMail. It gets the right sig but sets the sender to someone different. I really am beginning so wish I had not bought this stuff - I wonder if I could get my money back. I would not currently recomend this stuff at all, to any one. -- Kevin Pearcey
