Rasmus, I was able to see the PHP code because I came home and fired up Outlook. Right after I posted that last message, I closed Outlook and went to Earthlink webmail. Same problem. No code, and incredibly weird hyerlinks and garbled code. I opened Outlook back up, loaded the same messages I just viewed in webmail, and presto, they look fine. It's definitely their app. I could create an email address and password for you on Earthlink just to let you see it firsthand. However, I am sure you have much better things to do with your time.

That tells me that it isn't actually executing the code. Are you sure it isn't just putting the code in the mail literally? ie. if you do a "view source" on the message, do you not see the raw PHP tags? -Rasmus On Thu, 11 Apr 2002, Barry C.
