Any other ideas? -- No need to run DefaultMgr for this, unless you need to find information about what dwrite's an app supports. To filter out lines from received mail messages, do the following: dwrite Mail MailFilter filterstring Where filterstring is a colon delimited string of fields you want eliminated from your mail header. For example, I use: dwrite Mail MailFilter "Received:Mime-Version:Status:Message-Id: Return-Path:Next-Reference:X-Mailer:Content-Type:Content-Length" This is all on one line, and prevents me from seeing the associated header lines. --------------------------------------------------------------------- | Brad Skrbec | "For it is the doom of men that they forget." | | Motorola Cellular | -- Merlin | | Arlington Heights, IL | Internet: skrbec@rtsg.mot.com | | | Home: brad@darby.chi.il.us | ------------------------------- NeXTMail Gladly Accepted ------------
