And thank you for putting credit where it was really due. I knew I had gotten that code a couple of years ago from somewhere, but couldn't remember where. I hadn't written it, only modified it. I'm going to update my code now to put the "thanks to" section in there to the person who deserves the credit: Lucas Karisny (lucas dot karisny at linuxmail dot org). I had tried to find that each time I referenced the code or used it myself, but never did. If only I had R'd TFM. :-\ -- </Dan> Daniel P.
