Nothing google to a degree possible. I don't like my everything going to google (and NSA and whichever others) databases. I know that 50% of my e-mail end up in googlemail anyway, like this one definitely will, still... Thanks for the hint though. It will help those who don't care to be watched after like [those regimes all of us can name themselves] Valeri ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Valeri Galtsev Sr System Administrator Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics Kavli Institute for Cosmological Physics University of Chicago Phone: 773-702-4247 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
