Only problem was getting the full one line text string ... it got truncated when I tried to copy it a couple of times ... I'm viewing with thunderbird on ubuntu linux which might be the problem, might be better to include it as regular text rather than the html or whaterver it is? Thanks again. J Thanks, works great.
